UPCOMING EVENT FOR LOCAL WRITERS
BAY AREA INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION
SATURDAY JULY 13TH in San Rafael*, 9am-12pm
Topic - Traditional vs. Indie Publishing
I am a BAIPA member and am so impressed with the generosity of the members, who freely share their wealth of knowledge with one-another, navigating the complicated waters of self-publishing. In addition to the excellent presentation, the morning Q&A session beforehand is a wonderful opportunity to learn and share your own experiences with getting your work out into the world.
The guest presenter this month will be author Lee Foster:
"One possible part of the strategy for independent publishing, from my perspective, is that you might want to get your book content up on your website, for all to see, so that you benefit from ads (potentially) and more people might buy your print or ebook product.
However, another benefit of a website presentation of your book is that editors may see your work and may want to license it or commission you for parallel work. This has just happened to me again. I have the 30 chapters of my recent book Northern California Travel: The Best Options up on my website at http://www.fostertravel.com/category/norcal/.
*Join us at the San Rafael Corporate Center, 750 Lindaro Street in San Rafael, Saturday, July 13, 2013."
