Traditional vs Self-Publishing: Which is the best option for you?



Industry changes have made it one of the best times to be an author, but also one of the most confusing given all of the different publishing options available.

In this session, Author Learning Center President Keith Ogorek reviews the four primary publishing paths and explains the benefits and challenges of each option. Attendees learn about the DIY, General Contractor and supported self-publishing paths. Plus, what it takes to pursue traditional publishing.

Discover how these book publishing options differ from another, the amount of responsibility and control you have with each, and ultimately, which path may be the best fit for you, your budget, and your book.

Here is the handout referenced in the session:
