California Writers Club Self-Publishing Boot Camp
Karl Palachuk, Author of Publish Your First Book, to Speak at California Writers Club Self-Publishing Boot Camp
Sacramento, CA, October 23, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Karl Palachuk, author of Publish Your First Book and nine other books, will be a featured speaker at the California Writers Club’s Self-Publishing Boot Camp on Saturday, November 2. His topic is How to Run Your Publishing Business Like a Business and Not a Hobby.
Palachuk’s books include technical manuals, business coaching, and a self-help book entitled Relax Focus Succeed – Balance Your Personal and Professional Lives and Be More Successful in Both.
While technology has made self-publishing easier than ever, very few authors are making a living publishing their own books. Palachuk has a series of online stores that generate more than $5,000 per month in revenue. “This is not easy,” says Palachuk, “But it is certainly possible. The first step is to begin taking your self-publishing seriously and stop treating it like a hobby.”
“Too many authors have a romantic vision of success,” he says. “They think that they’ll print their book and suddenly start making money. You have to sell your book. You have to have a business plan and a marketing plan. You have to have a web site, a blog, and a shopping cart. You’re never going to make a living selling books out of the trunk of your car.”
The Self-Publishing Boot Camp is run by author and entrepreneur Carla King, and sponsored by the California Writer’s Club of Sacramento. She has worked to build a lineup of experts to show you every step of the process to prepare, publish and promote your work. This seminar will arm you with all the information you need to get your book into readers’ and customers’ hands whether you write fiction or non-fiction, business, political, poetry, children’s books, technical books, or any kind of book.
Walk away with the business, formatting, and marketing knowledge to really make it happen.
