How to Self-Publish Your Book

Two local
area authors will share advice on how to self-publish a book. This talk is for
aspiring, new, and published authors who are considering independent
publishing.  One of the many benefits of
independent publishing is that it puts the author in control of the destiny of
his/her book.  The discussion will include the importance of editing,
design, printing, distribution, and marketing.
