If you've ever dreamed of seeing your work in print, discover how easy it is to publish and market your own book.
Digital technology has revolutionized the way books are printed.
Where press runs were once done for tens of thousands of books, now "Print On Demand" (POD) technology makes small press runs profitable.
POD is not a new name for vanity press. It is a technology
that puts professional publishing within the reach of anyone who can master a few tools.
Authors no longer need to produce blockbusters - or even mid-list sellers - to reach an audience.
Niche markets for regional cookbooks,
poetry books, new or experimental fiction, romance books, children's books, and speculative fiction offer great new opportunities for
authors who self-publish their work. And the internet makes it possible to market these books to a world-wide audience.
The class will meet for six hours, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturday, March 7, 2009, at The Everett Community College Applied Technology Training Center, 2333 Seaway Blvd., Everett.
Class #9399-A893 Meets in ATC Room 220
