In October 2022, BookLife Indie Author Forum: Pro Series was born. These quick-hit, 90-minute, virtual sessions were designed to keep the conversation going year-round and to make the educational experience attainable to and more manageable for all indie authors. These concentrated learning events focus on single topics to drill down and provide detailed information on the relevant issues facing the self-publishing community today. I’ll be on this panel with Brooke Warner, publisher of She Writes Press and SparkPress, Jane Friedman, editor of The Hot Sheet, Tieshena Davis, publisher of Publish Your Gift, and Ian Andrew of The Book Reality Experience. $19.95.

You’ve heard the term, but what exactly is hybrid publishing? Although the business model has been around for decades, many are unaware of what hybrid publishing offers authors. This informative, 90-minute session breaks it all down. In this panel discussion, you’ll learn:

• How hybrid publishing differs from traditional and self-publishing
• Advantages of hybrid publishing
• Services offered by hybrid publishers
• Questions authors should ask a hybrid press

See how this thriving model can be a viable option for authors disillusioned with the barriers of traditional publishing or those who have self-published but been left unsatisfied.
