Getting Started, Getting Published
Event Information
Description
Traditional Publishing.
Self-Publishing.
Are these terms you’ve heard thrown around, but you’ve never really understood? Or maybe you’re well versed in the two, but don’t know which is right for you. Here’s your chance to learn more. Veteran authors Carol Barnier and Tara Alemany will be speaking at The Sherman Church on “Getting Started, Getting Published.”
Tara has self-published numerous books using a variety of self-publishing methods. Carol has used traditional publishing for her four books.
The workshop will start with Tara and Carol introducing some common terminology used in the publishing and marketing of books. Then they will share the pros and cons of various publishing models.
When they have finished, it’s your turn to ask any questions you may have about the publishing industry.
After your questions have been answered, we will have a mini-critique session to give you an idea of what we do at Word Weavers.
Organizer Word Weavers Berkshires
Organizer of Getting Started, Getting Published
Word Weavers Berkshires is a chapter of Word Weavers International, a non-profit organization. In 2010, a few authors in the area felt a growing need for a support group. After contacting different organizations and researching several possibilities, Word Weavers Berkshires was started in September of 2011 as a local chapter of Word Weavers International.
Word Weavers is a critique group. We offer writers of any skill level a place where their work can be critiqued in a loving and supportive fashion. More importantly, we try to provide writers with a place where they can hang out with other writers and discuss their craft with someone who understands.
We welcome experienced writers, newbies or those who are just thinking about writing. All are welcome to join us. We are a Christian group, but anyone who wants to hone their writing craft is welcome to attend.
