The Great Debate: Self Publishing vs Traditional

 

The publishing industry today looks much different than it did a decade ago. In that time, self-publishing has outgrown its longstanding 'vanity' stigma and become a viable publishing option for many writers. The traditional publishing industry has also experienced great changes and just isn’t what it used to be – even for those who’ve found success within the system.

 

This workshop will outline the ways in which self-publishing differs from traditional publishing, and how the unrestricted nature of this path might align better with your publishing needs. We’ll also discuss the process of preparing your manuscript for publication and offer advice on how to navigate the industry successfully.

 

A Q & A will follow the presentation

 

Giveaway alert! Following the webinar, one attendee will receive a Free Editor Evaluation from FriesenPress

 

Presenter

 

Christoph Koniczek joined FriesenPress's team of employee-owners in 2013, reconnecting with his passion for literature after a career in the culinary arts. A Publishing Consultant with the largest publishing services provider in Canada, Christoph has assisted authors with bringing over 2,000 titles to the market (and counting) in his decade-plus in the trade.

 

When he isn't busy helping authors find their path, you can find him with a good book (European

history and science fiction are favourites) and a strong cup of chai tea.
