Today, hard covered books are not the
only publishing option. You need to understand all the aspects of Traditional and Non-Traditional Publishing. Even if you plan to get a literary
agent, a business manager, or a public relations specialist, inform yourself
about the writing business.
Writers aren't referred to as "faint-hearted." Everyone who scribed a piece of prose or poetry needs to
understand their craft. A struggling apprentice needs to stay current about the
business of writing.
This weekend I dared to explore the
world of independent and self-publishing writers. Watch for my blogs sharing the following information gleamed from two fruitful days:- Traditional publishing vs. Self-publishing
- Selecting a third party vendo that meets your self-publishing goals
- Writing a marketing plan
- Selecting alpha and beta readers and a critique group
- Finding independent book reviewers
- Making friends with technology

A big thank you to all the organizers of IndieRECONLive! 2014 for a great conference. It was well-organized, offered multiple options for learning, and attracted a sharing audience.
