The Indie Publishing Primer, with Joe Mahoney

Location

Online via Zoom.

Description 

Joe Mahoney of Donovan Street Press presents an "Indie Publishing Primer." Joe will walk participants through the initial conception of their book through to its final publication and beyond. He'll discuss every stage of the indie publication process from manuscript prep to editing, covers, formatting, distribution, and marketing. He'll do this using real world examples from his experience with his own books and Donovan Street Press.

This two-hour session is designed for those new to indie publishing who would like to know how to achieve creative satisfaction by publishing their own books successfully and, perhaps most importantly, without losing their shirts.
