This all day conference offered a completely different point-of-view than what you will hear at any number of publishing conferences due to the single idea of SELF PUBLISHING. A big no-no in most authors eyes. But in this day in age of e-books, social media & digital devices running amuck……it's time to talk about this option and know: what, how and why.
The information was well presented and the guest speakers were all very informative and passionate for blazing your own trail. With the conundrum of not being able to get a publisher if your not already published or have an agent makes this do-it-yourself option look very appealing for some genre more than others. As a picture book author I know that the e-book market is very small. This is not to say that traditional publishing on my own is out of the question. I know that it can and is done with success. The trade off is spending your own time (lots of time) and money to get this done well. I've seen self published books that were done well and some done terribly. Thus, this type of conference is the place for a helping hand and bit of advice.
I enjoyed it very much and am now making the move to get a larger following or audience in the event that I publish or get published!
