Self-Publishing Best Practices (IBPA & ALLi Joint Webinar)
Michael and IBPA are running two live events (same content in each one). One session for the Northern Hemisphere, and one for the Southern Hemisphere. Details of times and dates for the respective sessions at the bottom of the post.
About the Program
Book publishing can be overwhelming and rigorous, and to make matters more difficult, when an author publishes their own books, they’re suddenly taking on the responsibility of an entire publishing house, which is normally run by tons of people with years of experience in their specialized field.
IBPA and ALLi are proud to partner to present this informative webinar that goes over important guidelines about the best practices for an author publisher from pre-publication to publication to post-publication.
TOPICS INCLUDE:
- Options for where to publish your books
- Options for where to distribute your books
- Book marketing advice
- Setting realistic publishing and sales expectations
- How to garner trade and reader reviews
- ISBN best practices
- Tips for finding freelancers (editors, interior book designers, etc.)
- Networking tips
- And more!
To serve the international audience, there will be two webinars. Both will be the same content, just at different times. Use the links below to register for your session of choice.
Bring your questions. There will be time for a Q&A, and Christopher and Michael (both author publishers!) are happy to answer your questions. For those who can't attend live, the session will be recorded. Please RSVP above to attend live and/or be emailed a recorded version after-the-fact. We look forward to seeing you there!
Please note: Online registration is available until: 9/22/2022
Self-publishing is an increasingly popular option for authors to get their books into the hands of readers. But self-publishing can be a confusing and overwhelming process. A live virtual event on self-publishing best practices can help aspiring authors understand the ins and outs of the self-publishing process and make educated decisions about how to go about getting their books out into the world.
I agree with the author that self-publishing now has powerful internet tools, but I think it still needs support from a big publisher.
