Calling all Writers and Authors … Is There a Book in You?
The Extravaganza is coming!
The Extravaganza is coming!
The book buck stops here … It’s an exciting time to be an author; it’s an awesome time to be an independent publisher. The typical author, especially the author that views his or her path aligned with a traditional publisher, wants the details to be taken care by others—to in some ways, be taken care of. Independent authors/publishers know that “if it is going to happen,” they need to be intricately involved in the process.
Publishing related education must continue post the book’s publication; and keeping updated on marketing strategies and tools takes on a form similar to “breathing. Not to mention the need to stay connected with others in the authoring/publishing community. And that’s what Author U is all about.
