Your Self Publishing and Distribution Options in the 21st Century

Ways to Get your Book into Print

 

Your manuscript is drafted. What is the best way to manufacture your book and distribute it to your readers? You’ve heard of Print-on-demand publishers, digital printers and more. Which systems will work for you and which companies should you avoid? What is an author to do?  Getting published and distributing your book can be a mysterious and intimidating process.

 

In this information-packed session, you'll learn insider secrets on getting published from book marketing and publishing expert Dan Poynter

 

The most expensive parts of book publishing and distribution are the mistakes! Let Dan save you from making them. Dan will cover:

 

  • How the publishing world has changed over the years, and how you can expect it to change further in the future

  • How self publishing, vanity publishing, print-on-demand (POD) and subsidy publishing compare to traditional publishing

  • Advantages and disadvantages of today’s publishing and distribution options

  • The length of time it will take to get your book published with each option

  • Pros and cons of eBooks

  • How much money will it cost to publish a book with each model, both in terms of what is spent and what is potentially earned
