Class #	194
Class Title	Modern Self-Publishing
Instructor	Tom Trimbath
Details	Take control of your story. Changes in technology make publishing quicker and more affordable than ever. Publishing is undergoing a revolution. More titles were printed by Print-On-Demand than by traditional publishers. (2008) E-Book sales exceeded hardcover sales at amazon.com. (2010) E-Book sales exceeded paperback sales at amazon.com. (2011) Independent movies challenged Hollywood tradition. Independent music challenged the major record labels. Print-on-demand publishers are enabling legions of writers to become authors within a few months for about the cost of a writer's conference, or for much less via e-books. An industry in revolution is never an easy place, though. Come see ways to steer your dream project through the shifting landscape. Give your dreams the freedom they deserve.
