About

This class takes an unbiased and unvarnished look at a modern writer’s publishing options, from “Big 5” traditional publishers to small presses to self publishing (with or without the support of service companies) to “hybrid” and other emerging models. Taught by Beth Jusino, a publishing professional who appreciates both sides of the fence, this class getspast the hype and examines pros and cons of each choice, realistic costs and income potential, as well as scams and pitfalls to avoid. 

Most importantly, it helps writers seeking publication understand their own goals, strengths, and how to make a decision that's best for them.   

Attendees will…

• Gain a realistic impression of the costs, timing, and logistics involved in producing a book.
