About this event:

The path to publishing a book is no longer one-size-fits-all. With options ranging from self-publishing to small press to the Big Five, today’s writers face both exciting opportunities and complex decisions.

Join a panel of publishing professionals as they break down the different routes to publication, offering insight into what each path requires, what to expect along the way, and how to determine the best fit for your work.

Featuring voices from self-publishing, independent presses, and a local literary agency, this conversation will provide practical guidance and insider perspective. Moderated by Fireside Ink Writers Workshop co-founder Loie Rawding, the event will conclude with an audience Q & A.
