"Self-Publishing and Ebook Publishing:
What Authors Need to Know Before They Take the Plunge"
An editor (Diane Piron-Gelman), publisher (Emily Victorson), and author/marketing
expert (Libby Fischer Hellmann) will provide details on the nitty-gritty involved
in both self-publishing and e-book publishing. Some of the questions they will
answer are:
* What are the steps involved?
*
What technical expertise do you need to have?
* When should you do things
yourself and when should you hire an expert?
* Why do
we need editors and publishers anyway?
* What kind of
marketing can you do on your own?
* What role does an editor play in preparing your book for
public viewing?
* What resources (books, websites, experts,
etc.) can I go to for help?
