Self-Publishing & Marketing
Have you fancied publishing your own work? There are many ways to see your book in print by using a variety of online programs. You can also use a third-party to work with you on your self-publishing journey.
But it's not all beer and skittles. Think editing, typesetting, design, publishing platform, marketing, royalties and so on and so forth. There's a lot to consider to make a beautiful book.
Three local authors will tell you about their experiences and how they market their books to others.
Our authors are Val Dwyer, Maria Lacey and Helena Kidd in conversation with Heather Whitford-Roche
