Published author considering publishing your backlist? Unpublished author considering self-publishing?
This workshop will look closely at self-publishing distribution channels from what kind of file you will need to upload your eBook to the various options you have in creating the files. We will also discuss all the various platforms such as Kindle, Nook, iBooks and Smashwords, and what are the best strategies to getting your book up for sale. We will discuss doing it yourself, outsourcing and team-building options.
Authors have more choices today than ever before, but the process can be overwhelming. While this is not a step-by-step technical class, the workshop is designed to give you enough information to make informed decisions on how to get your eBook on all formats possible.
Free for PLRW members; $15 for nonmembers.
