The club will be meeting on 13 August at 08:30 AM Pacific Time via Zoom.
Our Topic: Things I Wish I Knew FIRST
In this presentation NYT bestselling author Gail Carriger covers all the things she wished someone had told her when she first started out in publishing. She’ll explain those pesky concepts and terms that established authors and book industry professionals take for granted. She’ll reviewing industry standards and expectations of authors, both in traditional and indie publishing. She’ll help you determine which path is best for your book and career: traditional publishing, self publishing, or a hybrid of the two. She’ll cover the things she believes EVERY author should have set up BEFORE their first book launches into the world. This is also your opportunity to pick her brain.
