Traditional or Self-Publishing: Which Is Best for You?
Whether to go traditional, self, or hybrid publishing is a question that plagues most authors. The correct decision for one author may not be the right one for another. So how can an author choose which route to take? L. C. Hayden, a traditional published as well as a self-published author—and currently a hybrid author—will help you determine which road is the best for you. The focus of this workshop will be on the advantages and disadvantages of each publishing choice so that all authors can determine which path to follow.
