Monthly Meeting |Self-Publishing vs. Traditional Explained 2.0

The publishing industry today looks much different than it did a decade ago. Since then, self-publishing has outgrown its longstanding "vanity" stigma and has become a viable publishing option for many writers.

In a reprise of January 2024's popular meeting, Friesen Press publishing consultant Christoph Koniczek will outline how self-publishing differs from traditional publishing. But in this year's presentation, he will also share new information covering some of the more recent changes seen in the self-publishing industry, and shed further light on how the unrestricted nature of the self-publishing path might align better with your publishing needs.

Details at the meeting.* 

*The special offer is for a free Editors Manuscript Evaluation- up to 60,000 words. Consultation with a publishing consultant is always free with Friesenpress. The evaluation is done by an editor, who will review the book and write up an analysis which will provide feedback and recommendations in the form of a 6-12 page book review. The review is worth $499.

Due to what is usually inclement weather, January and February meetings will be held on Zoom.
