COMING
SOON
AUGUST
2012 WORKSHOP
(date
to be announced)
Ebook
and Digital Publishing: Is it for me?
Instructor: Suzanne Rock
Digital
books are becoming more and more popular.
Devices such as the Kindle, iPAD and Nook
have brought ebooks into the limelight and
provided many new and exciting publishing
opportunities for writers. Despite this,
many are still confused about the epublishing
process.
This
course is for beginners who want to learn
more about digital publishing and determine
if it's a good fit for them. We will touch
on big vs. small epress, self-publishing,
vanity publishing, contracts, promotions
and dealing with epirates.
By
the end of class, the student should have
a good understanding of the options available
and have the tools they need if they wish
to move toward digital publication.

Instructor
Bio:
After over a decade in the scientific
world, Suzanne needed a creative outlet.
She tried scrap booking, cooking,
crocheting, painting, and piano, none
of which held her interest for very
long. Then one of her friends suggested
writing. Thrilled with the idea of
creating her own worlds, she opened
up her lap top and never looked back.
When
Suzanne's not writing, she can be
found playing with her two daughters,
testing her husband's latest kitchen
creations, or curled up with her favorite
romance novel in her central Massachusetts
home.
