As a part of The Story Center's Annual Publishing Week, on Saturday 27th we are hosting Self-Publishing Saturday, a day-long event filled with programs and resources for writers looking to self-publish! Printing & Distribution for Self-Published Authors
10:30am-12:00pm
Join self-published author and expert Rachel Newhouse to learn how to print and distribute your self-published works. Thanks to the exploding popularity of self-publishing, there are a variety of printing and distribution services to meet the needs of every project. Newhouse will explore popular self-publishing services such as KDP, IngramSpark, and Kickstarter, as well as discuss the pros and cons of each so you can decide which one is right for your book. This program is part of The Story Center’s annual Publishing Week. Please note this program will take place in the Auditorium at Woodneath. It is in-person only. Space is limited and registration is required.

The Cost of Self-Publishing
