Summary:
We hear much more about traditional publishing, but there are many advantages to self-publishing, ranging from creative freedom to control over marketing and distribution, and self-published writers are increasingly reaching both niche and broad readerships. In this session, Timmah Ball and Michael Winkler discuss their own experiences and enthusiasm for self-publishing and answer questions from the audience and our moderator.
