Navigating The Wild, Wild, West of Publishing

Friday, September 17 @ 11:30 am - 12:30 pm • Organized By SCORE - St. Louis Bi-State Region
Online Event

About

The current publishing landscape in the US can be confusing, wild, and very much a “buyer be-AWARE” market. Join Cathy as she simplifies the options available to authors and discusses the pros-and-cons of each.

Learn:
• The pros and cons of DIY vs. Author-Assisted vs. Independent vs. Traditional Publishing
• What is an Author Brand Platform and why do I need one?
• What kinds of books sell best?
• Which publishing path is best for me?
• How do I avoid self-publishing pitfalls?

Presenter's Bio: Cathy Davis
Books are in Cathy's DNA and have always played a big role in her life. Cathy Davis believes we all have a story to tell and it is through our stories that we are able to find our voice, share our wisdom, and make a difference in the lives of others. Wisdom not shared is wisdom lost forever.
Cathy founded Davis Creative, LLC in January of 2004 after a long career in financial services marketing. What originally began as a boutique creative services agency, is now known as Davis Creative Publishing Services — a sought-after publishing industry leader, providing concierge publishing services for authors throughout the US and several foreign countries.
