You've written a book or you're thinking about writing one, but how do you decide what comes next? Today's authors have more publishing options than ever before, yet many feel overwhelmed by the differences between traditional publishing, hybrid publishing, and self-publishing. In this workshop, author, self-publisher, and publishing company founder Ashequka Lacey provides a practical overview of each publishing path, exploring the benefits, challenges, costs, timelines, and levels of creative control associated with each option. Participants will learn key considerations for evaluating their goals as authors and gain a clearer understanding of which publishing path may be the best fit for their book. Attendees will leave with greater confidence, practical resources, and actionable next steps for moving their writing project forward.
