This three hour workshop will review the world of self-publishing, examine and compare the leading Print on Demand (POD) publishers, reveal the costs and benefits to writers in the printing packages offered, and recommend how to select a publisher. Presented through Power Point, this workshop will show manuscript preparation and the costs of editing and proofing. By the end of the session, writers will know how to prudently select a reliable publisher at a minimal cost with an understanding of profit and loss potential based on the publishing cost, royalties, book pricing, and book purchases without being scammed.
