Cheri Cowell
Learn the pros and cons of the growing trend of indie author publishing, including how to evaluate your options, the basics of formatting and cover design, e-book options, and how marketing your self-published book. All of these are tackled differently when your book is self-published, as opposed to a traditionally published book.
Course Outline
Session 1: Evaluating Indie/Co/Self-Publishing: The Pros and Cons of Doing it Yourself, and whether you and your project are a good match for Indie.
Session 2: Understanding the Do-it-Yourself Process: We’ll look at the various things you need to master if you’re going to indie-publish.
Session 3: Why EBook? We’ll look at the limitations in e-book technology and what it takes to convert your book into an e-book for Kindle and others.
Session 4: Marketing an Indie Book: We’ll look at three major components of a marketing plan: your brand, an Internet presence, and what is needed in a social media plan.
Presenter Cheri Cowell is owner and publisher at EABooks, a division of Living Parables of Central Florida. She has been both traditionally published and indie published and is therefore familiar with both aspects of the business.
