You
may never get published
(Horror
stories and thoughts to help you try anyway)
The world of publishing
is, in a single word, chaos.
There
are plenty of other words. But to capture all of the joys, the
frustrations, the hurdles, the thrills, the disappointments, the
excitment, the challenges, the highs and the lows and the in-betweens
-- and on and on -- involved in the process of bringing a project
from thought to published, chaos covers all of the ground fairly
well.
In
this workshop, Bob will focus on his own thoughts, efforts and
experience, drawing from the perspective of things he wish he
knew when he was starting.
What
things did he do right? What mistakes were made? Where could he
have improved? Where did he improve? All these questions (and
several more) combine to create a presentation designed as an
introductory-level program that offers details every writer might
benefit from considering.
Make no mistake... there
are NO guarantees! This workshop acknowledges
and describes the difficulties facing writers that plan to bring
a book to the marketplace. It promises no slot on a bestseller
list... offers no contract with an agent... provides no space
on a bookstore shelf.
What does it offer?
** An overview of publishing
methods
**
Information about the responsibilities and demands of self-publishing
**
Understanding personal investment
...and perhaps a little
bit more.
Unless noted otherwise,
these events are planned as free and open to the public.
