The Modern Publishing Landscape

The publishing industry today looks much different than it did a decade

ago. In that time, self-publishing has outgrown its longstanding 'vanity' stigma and become a

viable publishing option for many writers. The traditional publishing industry has also

experienced great changes and as a result it just isn’t what it used to be, even for those who’ve

found success within the system.

This webinar provides an overview of the modern book publishing landscape and gives advice

to authors on how to successfully navigate it. We’ll discuss the general publishing options of

Traditional Publishing, DIY, and Assisted Self-Publishing — how it all works and the logistics of

moving your book from the computer screen to the bookshelf.
