Workshop: Everything You Ever Needed to Know About Epublishing (and some things you didn’t know you should know)
Why doesn’t epublishing offer advances? What are some of the pros and cons of publishing my manuscript via epublishing? How do I research publishers? Can I really make money in epublishing? What exactly is POD? Can you give me a snappy comeback for people who say that epublishing isn’t real publishing?

Epublishing has evolved and grown, especially in the last 5 years, but with growth comes pitfalls and problems, and trusting an epublisher with your baby might seem like a risky proposition. We’ll cover the basics of epublishing, from choosing an epublisher and contract details to methods of ebook and print distribution to reasons why you might not want to epublish your manuscript. This workshop will offer a frank discussion on both the merits and disadvantages of epublishing, and candid answers to your questions.

Lindsey McGurk earned degrees in literature from Wake Forest University and the University of Cincinnati before joining the editorial team at Samhain Publishing, Ltd., a small press company focused on digital publishing. She is looking for great stories in all subgenres of romance and erotica, as well as fantasy, urban fantasy and science fiction with strong romantic elements. Though she resides in Cincinnati, she works anywhere she can take her laptop, including her couch, coffeehouses and—for several memorable weeks last fall—Paris, France.
