Seattle Writes: Successful Self-Publishing

The Seattle Public Library - Author Readings and Library Events

Learn about the editing process (developmental editing, copy editing, proofreading), what you need to know about book/cover design, various platforms for digital publishing, and options for printing your book.We'll also cover distribution (getting your book into bookstores and libraries) and marketing -- two areas crucial to your book’s success yet often overlooked in the self publishing process.Panelists will include an editor, marketing professional, media escort, distributor and novelist -- all with experience in both the traditional and independent publishing worlds. A moderated discussion will be followed by a QandA session.This program is ideal for fiction, nonfiction and memoir writers.Library events and programs are free and everyone is welcome. Registration is not required.This is the last of five self-publishing workshops at the Library this fall. Seattle Writes supports local writers through programs, workshops, write-ins, and by providing spaces to work throughout the city.
