The Publishing Industry Today
Where do I send my manuscript? Do I need a literary agent? I'm not a well-known person, who would care about my story? How do I sit back and collect royalty checks in the mail?
Except for the last question, the rest are answerable. In this presentation, April O'Leary will go through the basics of book publishing today from traditional publishers to independent publishers to self-publishing.
She'll share the various paths to becoming an author with examples of what qualifies you for each of those paths.
You'll come away with a business understanding of the industry as a whole and your opportunities to 'get published' as an author.
Who Me, An Author?!
Your life has been anything but ordinary. You see your friends and colleagues publish books and wonder how they did it. You aspire to leave behind a meaningful legacy for your family.
These are just some of the reasons why people choose to publish books. However, the most significant question often remains: how do you do it? Indeed, it requires courage and confidence to pen down your story (which you possess), but don't let technical queries hinder you from checking off an item on your bucket list that could not only change your life but also touch the lives of many eager to hear your story.
During this presentation, April O'Leary will inspire you not only to gather the courage to start writing but also share practical insights into what it takes to become an author.
It's Time to Craft Your Legacy
Writing a book can seem like a task that is only suited for the rich and famous, or those with millions of TikTok fans or Instagram followers. This is simply not true.
With examples of real authors published by O'Leary Publishing, April will showcase stories of those who have written the stories of their life experiences that will live on for generations to come.
She will talk about the power of looking long term to accomplish bucket list goals like leaving your story for your family, landing that perfect job, or establishing yourself as an expert in your industry.
She'll also touch on the simple steps to getting started as an independent author and what it takes to craft your memoir. There is no time like the present to tell your stories from the past!
