Up Coming Event!
To ramp up to the Festival, we have partnered with FriesenPress to bring you this special webinar with guest speaker Emily Perkins.
The publishing industry today looks much different than it did a decade ago. In that time, self-publishing has outgrown its longstanding 'vanity' stigma and become a viable publishing option for many writers. Whether you’re a seasoned writer seeking new adventures or an aspiring author taking your first steps into the world of self publishing, this webinar promises to equip you with a brief understanding of the industry's evolution, debunk common myths surrounding self-publishing, and shed light on the importance of choosing a publishing partner.
Important Note:
