Self-Publishing Workshop
Are you considering putting together stories of your family ancestors? Have you thought about gathering up family recipes to publish in a cookbook? Did your great grandmother leave a diary that you'd like to publish? Have you written some poetry that you'd like to put in a book and give as gifts? Are you working on your first novel? If so, this self-publishing workshop is for you. This workshop will help you understand the process, from the first written word to the finished book. Learn about ISBN's and how to get one, what important items to make sure you put on the back cover, how to get testimonials, how to submit your manuscript to a printer, and lots more.
