403 Self-Publishing 101 (ENGLISH)

What does self-publishing “look like” in 2027? Is it still considered “vanity publishing,” or is it a viable publishing option for authors? In this workshop, CEO of the Forbes-featured publishing house, TSPA The Self Publishing Agency, Megan Williams will dive into the details and functions of self-publishing, answering questions that the internet remains vague about. This corner of the industry is rich with options and opportunities, and this is the first step to understanding if self-publishing is right for you and your story. Attendees will leave this workshop with a comprehensive understanding of what self-publishing entails (the players, the process and the possibilities), a professional publishing timeline, budget plans, royalty calculations and a content calendar for marketing their work. Questions attendees will have answered:How much does it cost? Do I need to have 15k followers to make money? Does self-publishing suit all genres? What platforms should I use, and what should I avoid? If I self-publish, can I publish with a trade publisher later? What can I do myself, and/or who should I hire?What pitfalls, scams, and potholes should I be wary of?
