The world of publishing is an ever-changing environment. The
path to publication is no longer clearly marked. Though traditional publishing
is still a route many authors choose, with the book market becoming
increasingly crowded, it may be difficult to find a publisher willing to take a
chance on your novel—but letting your manuscript languish on your computer is
breaking your heart. And now you’re toying with the idea of self-publishing,
unsure if it’s right for you.
In this workshop Nina will walk you through step-by-step how to
self-publish. From preparing your manuscript to finding professionals and
uploading to retailers, she’s going to cover it all. Whether you have
experience as a published author and are looking to expand your market or you
simply want to jump in and put your debut novel out there, Nina will cover the
upfront costs, the pros and cons and hopefully clear up misconceptions about the
self-publishing world.
About Nina:
Meeting Location:
Even though it’s been 10 years since USA Today bestselling
romance author, Nina Pierce, first put fingers to keyboard, it still amazes her
that she hasn’t written all the stories swirling around in her head. But then
again—the woman is never at a loss for words! A former science teacher, she now
spends her days making stuff up, killing off imaginary people (who may or may
not look a lot like her nasty neighbors) and finding her characters their
perfect soul mate. Married to her high school sweetheart of thirty-something
years, Nina believes everyone deserves a little sexy romance in his or her life!
Five years ago, after having 8 books traditionally published,
Nina took a blind leap into the world of self-publishing. Now, with more than
10 self-published, re-released and new works, she’s figured out how to
successfully navigate the shifting waters and loves to teach others what she
has learned.
