A Saga of Self-Publishing

What would it feel like to hold your own book in your hands? The shiny cover, your name on the spine, your creativity on the inside? Why not?

Al Di Marzio has self-published several books and will share his process of writing, editing, publishing, and printing. He’ll talk about the programs he uses, the benefits and challenges in using AI as a collaborator, and the on-line publisher’s tools he uses. 

His books are available in softcover and eBook at Barnes & Noble, Amazon and Kobo. 

Mr. Di Marzio is a degreed Electrical Engineer (MSEE), who left corporate America to find a quiet life in Guilford where he bought a small business. He then channeled his experience into Desktop publishing, Website design and development, and Video media.

He has had the satisfaction of having several articles published in business magazines and has presented technical papers at conferences. He has no qualifications to be an author of fiction—simply the desire to begin a journey.
