Publishing & Writing Conference
Authors and independent publishers face an odyssey filled with risks and
opportunities. To reach the goal of successful publishing the author
travels a long and arduous route from idea to manuscript to book to
bookstores, libraries, and readers. The 2010 NCPA publishing conference,
"A Publishing and Writing Odyssey," will aid authors and publishers in
that journey.
This conference is a value-packed day for publishers and authors,
featuring national and regional experts. Seating is limited. Advance
reservations strongly advised.
Speakers:
Keynoter Dominique Raccah, founder of Sourcebooks and one of Book
Business's "Top 50 Women in Publishing."
Clint Greenleaf, CEO of Greenleaf Book Group, discussing book distribution
and marketing.
Marion Gropen, MBA, (Gropen Associates; "The Profitable Publisher" blog),
on finance for independent publishers.
Verna Dreisbach (Dreisbach Literary Management) presenting an agent's
view.
Teresa LeYung Ryan, author (Love Made of Heart) and writing coach, on
building fame for fiction and nonfiction authors.
Author-entrepreneurs Karl Palachuk, Stephanie Chandler, and Linda Lee on
the "e-world" for authors and publishers.
A buffet lunch is included. An on-site bookstore will feature
award-winning books by regional independent publishers and authors.
Sponsor tables will provide information on services and resources for
publishers and authors, and attendees will have opportunity for informal
networking and for Q&A with the speakers.
Discounts are available for early registration. "Early-bird" registrations
