You wrote (or are writing) a book, but what happens after that? Should you self publish? Do you need an agent? Do you even have a chance to land a publishing contract?
In this online, interactive class, hosted in July 2021 by my friends at Hugo House, we’ll take an unbiased, unvarnished, fast-paced, and up-to-date look at a modern writer’s publishing options, from “Big 5” traditional publishers to small presses to self publishing (with or without the support of service companies) to “hybrid” and other emerging models.
Taught by a publishing professional who works on and appreciates both sides of the publishing fence, this class gets past the hype and examines pros and cons of each choice, realistic costs and income potential, as well as scams and pitfalls to avoid. Most importantly, it helps writers seeking publication understand their own goals, strengths, and how to make a decision that’s best for them.

An unbiased view of traditional publishing, self publishing, and emerging hybrid publishing options for fiction and nonfiction writers. Presented at BARN (Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network), June 17, 2017
In this age of Kindles, iPads, and 99-cent e-books, the publishing industry is in a state of turmoil. So what does that mean for aspiring authors who hope to share their stories with the world? It means that there are more options than ever before for publishing your book.

We will walk, step by step, through the self-publishing process, examining current opportunities and realities of independent publishing from a variety of perspectives. We’ll discuss content, formatting choices (print? ebook? audio? translations?), hiring freelancers, pricing, distribution options, and how to evaluate what options are best for your unique project. This class gets past the hype and examines the practical decisions that need to be made, realistic costs and income potential, as well as pitfalls to avoid. Most importantly, it helps writers evaluate self publishing in light of their own goals, strengths, and audience.

Pitch Your Book So Publishers Pay AttentionBeth Jusino
Agents report that they’re flooded with more queries and proposals than ever before, even as publishers cut back the number of books they produce each year. How can you break through the noise and get your project noticed?
This workshop, hosted by my friends at Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network (BARN), will help you step back and see your fiction or nonfiction work through fresh eyes and a business-based perspective. We’ll identify the things that make your work unique, marketable, and irresistible to publishing gatekeepers, and then with lots of examples and time for practice and personal feedback, we’ll work on verbal “elevator pitches,” one-paragraph hooks, and query letters.

The 740-kilometer section of the Camino that begins in Le Puy-en-Velay is one of the oldest recorded pilgrim routes to Santiago, and it passes through some of the most beautiful villages and countryside of France, but it’s still uncharted territory for many Americans. In this session, we will explore the Chemin du Puy, also known as the Via Podiensis – the history and spiritual significance; the practicalities of housing, guidebooks, and food; and what sets it apart from other, more familiar parts of the Camino trail network.
