FREE: Webinar From Writers Digest-- Self Publishing

Hurry - Limited Seats Available!   Once regarded as the least desirable of publishing options - at least by the majority of writers at the time - self-publishing has proven itself to be the most exciting, energizing, and opportunity-filled evolution of the literary arts since the advent of the mass market paperback. But with opportunity comes risk. With excitement comes disappointment. Knowing how to mitigate both will help make your self-publishing efforts more fulfilling and your successes more abundant. In this special FREE webinar, USA Today and New York Times best-selling indie author Cheryl Holt (Wicked, Love's Price) has a frank conversation with Steven Spatz, President of BookBaby.com, and Phil Sexton, Publisher of Writer's Digest, during which attendees will learn what preparation is required to self-publish effectively, what pitfalls to watch out for, what pleasant surprises you might discover in the process, and exactly what it takes to sell your books, once they're available to buy. Cheryl will also discuss the major myths associated with self-publishing, the financial investments you should be prepared for, and the level of discipline required to succeed. Please note, the discussion will be open to attendee questions. If you've been thinking about self-publishing and want to hear both the high points and the low points from an author who has succeeded in both the traditional and self-publishing arenas, be sure to join us on February 2nd. As an added bonus, Cheryl will be giving away signed copies of her book, Love's Promise, to twenty randomly selected attendees. Learn how to self-publish today!
