Take control of your writing life.
Traditional publishing is in crisis. Corporate consolidation, tariffs that raise printing costs, the loss of many book review outlets, declining readership, the uncertainty of AI, and many other factors have made finding an agent, editor, and publisher difficult and potentially heartbreaking, even for the most wonderful books. Meanwhile, however, writers’ projects are thriving, and an alternate route to publication is available.
Self-publishing is easier, surprisingly inexpensive, and produces high quality printed and ebooks with wide distribution. Also, as it has become widespread, the stigma is gone. So if you have a project you’re eager to share with readers, you owe it to yourself to investigate.
In this two-hour intensive, Erin and Nancy will walk you through an overview of the steps involved in releasing your own novel, nonfiction, short story collection, chapbook, or other written creative project. From formatting and covers to ISBNs and distribution, they’ll give you the pieces you need to understand your options.
Can’t make the date? Looking for more? Join us for a follow-up workshop, Self Publishing: Details and Demonstrations , on Thursday, July 9 from 7-9 PM.
