We will discuss the difference between self-publishing and vanity publishing and how to tell the difference when being approached by\, or when approaching\, possible publishers. \nWe will examine the process from notes to print\, from print to online\, from online to audio and all points in between. \nCan you (should you) do it all yourself? Should you be paying for professional support\, and is it worth it? What is hybrid publishing? Do some publishers who offer self-publishing support also act as gatekeepers? Should we go to print or to online only? What are the pitfalls when publishing online? \nCome ready to talk about your own experience\, with thoughts and knowledge of this increasingly popular opportunity to bypass the gatekeepers\, whether you’re new to the game or a bestseller looking for more control. \nIs it time to publish and possibly be damned?! \nThe venue has great accessibility: it’s the ground-floor meeting room within the Monastery Café building at Prinknash Abbey\, Cranham\, GL4 8EX. There is a large\, free car park\, above the café building. Walk down steps or a gentle slope to access the café entrance.
