June 2013 Meeting

June 8: Blanche Marriott: Self-Pubbing: Do-It-Yourself

 

Upcoming Meetings:

June

Main Talk: Blanche Marriott: Self-Pubbing: Do-It-Yourself
If one of your goals for 2013 is to get on the self-pubbing wagon, then this is the workshop for you. If you’ve balked at the idea of doing it yourself, or got scared away after reading some of the “manuals,” this workshop will break it down to easy, simplified steps. You don’t need to pay someone to do it for you. With a little guidance and self-confidence, you CAN do it. Bring your questions, your doubts, and even your laptops. I promise you’ll learn something (even if you’re already self-pubbed!).

Craft Corner:  Tracy Costa: The Scoop on Scrivener

Bonus Session: Jamie Schmidt: The Ins and Outs of Using myRWA
