IWOC Meeting - How to Write, Publish, and Market Your Book

IWOC January Meeting

How to Write, Publish, and Market Your Book

Join us as two experienced book-publishing experts will discuss the specific steps that a new (or old) author must take to succeed, offering a “one-two-three” type approach with practical advice that works—from the initial creative idea for your book to eventual sales in today’s competitive marketplace.

Based on their real-world publishing experience, two seasoned IWOC veterans—James Kepler and Kim Bookless—will address the two major publishing strategies to consider today, including traditional royalty publishing and self-publishing. In their co-presentation, Kepler will discuss the pros and cons of traditional royalty publishing, while Bookless will delve into the advantages and weakness of self-publishing.

There also will be an interactive Q&A session, discussing the respective benefits and challenges of each strategy.

Networking, with snacks and beverages, begins at 5:00 p.m., followed by the program at 6:00 p.m.

The meeting is free for IWOC members. Non-members pay $10 with online preregistration/payment or $15 at the door.

All attendees are welcome to join us for a buy-your-own dinner at a nearby restaurant after the meeting.
