Choosing the Right Publication Path
Today’s publishing industry provides a number of paths that authors can follow to be published. NY Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller Caridad Pineiro has been published for over 25 years and in that time, she’s taken some of those different paths and engaged with writers who have done the same. With that knowledge and her experience as a lawyer, she’ll offer an in-depth analysis of the different publication paths, their pros and cons, and the financial costs and rewards of the various types of publishing.
The workshop will be followed by a panel of authors who have followed the different paths, namely, Samantha Ann (Indie), Caridad (traditional, hybrid) and Linda Parisi (traditional, small press). The authors will discuss their experiences along those different paths and answer questions for attendees.
