The publishing industry today looks much different than it did a decade ago. In that time, self-publishing has outgrown its longstanding 'vanity' stigma and become a viable publishing option for many writers. The traditional publishing industry has also experienced great changes and just isn’t what it used to be – even for those who’ve found success within the system. This presentation will outline the ways in which self-publishing differs from traditional publishing, how the unrestricted nature of this path might align better with your publishing needs, as well as what to look at when choosing your publishing partners. We’ll also discuss the process of preparing your manuscript for publication and offer advice on how to successfully navigate the industry.

After the Webinar: To one attendee, following the webinar, we will give out a Free Editor Evaluation. $499 value. We will gather these entries via QR code during the presentation.

Presenter: 
Christoph Koniczek joined FriesenPress's team of employee owners in 2013, reconnecting with his passion for literature after a career in the culinary arts. A Publishing Consultant with the largest publishing services provider in Canada, Christoph has assisted authors with bringing over 2,000 titles to the market (and counting) in his decade-plus in the trade. When he isn't busy helping authors find their path, you can find him with a good book (European history and science fiction are favorites) and a strong cup of chai tea.
