Sharp lends his 30-plus years of expertise to help authors bring their ideas to fruition and navigate the publishing process.
“The publishing process can be a confusing one — there are many, many different levels,” said Sharp, publisher and president at Sea Hill Press. “Understanding the process is half of the job.”
His one-day class will cover everything from manuscript preparation to social media marketing, and will give students a solid understanding of the many levels involved in self-publishing. Other topics of discussion include cover design, interior layout, digital and traditional printing, e-books, book sales, marketing, publicity and distribution.
Authors of all levels of experience are invited to attend “Successful Self-Publishing — Strategies and Tactics to Avoid Pitfalls” to explore the many decisions the will face on their endeavor to self-publish a book successfully.
