TECH STUFF: Participants will need a computer with a fast (DSL or cable) Internet connection. The audio service for the webinar will be your computer headset/speakers or a microphone. 

 

WHY: Until quite recently self-publishing was an expensive undertaking and the options for selling a self-published book were limited. Now thanks to print-on-demand technology, e-books, and Internet marketing, self-publishing can be inexpensive and profitable.

 

THE PRESENTER: NWU-Boston Chapter member John Amiard Oberteuffer, author of the self-published mystery-thriller Swedish Blood: A Peter Frost Mystery, is a frequent presenter on self-publishing (producing a book under your own imprint). He will offer practical guidance on low-cost, professional quality self-publishing. He will discuss the creation and submission of print-ready digital files for POD printing and e-books, and options for marketing and sales. The presentation includes PowerPoint slides and Q&A.
