January 15, 2011, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm

followed by a Self-publishing Fair, 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm

You can make a difference and make a living with your book. A book will bring you more credibility, increased fame and a new profit center.

During this four-hour workshop you will discover how to use new techniques and the latest technology to write your book faster, produce your book for less (printed, audiobooks and e-books) and promote your book more effectively. Dan Poynter will share the secrets to finding an agent, contacting a publisher and publishing yourself. He has your step-by-step plan.

You can show up with an idea, proposal or manuscript. Or, you can come with a book under your arm. This program will propel you into celebrity (published author) status.

Self-publishing Fair, 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm

After lunch, you’ll have the chance to:

• meet South Bay Writers self-published authors
• meet local print-on-demand and e-book publishers
• ask your questions about how to self-publish your book, which self-publishing options have worked for other authors, what self-publishing costs, and more!
• purchase books from SBW authors
