Self-publishing is a great way to sidestep traditional literary gatekeepers and take ownership over the production of your own writing. But that doesn't mean it is easy. Every step of self-publishing a book is its own challenge, from copyediting to layout and design, from printing to marketing and selling. In this business of writing craft talk, bestselling author Abby L. Vandiver will provide key tips for producing your book, maximizing exposure, and building a fan base. This class is aimed towards fiction writers, but nonfiction writers and poets will find benefits to attending as well.
