- **Event Name**: Hybrid and Indie Publishing: Pros, Cons, Differences, and How-To’s, with Susanne Dunlap
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 02:30 pm – Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 05:30 pm
- **Event Description**: For many authors, traditional publishing still feels like the “gold standard”—the ultimate stamp of approval. But pursuing it often requires months (or years) of querying, plus the inevitable sting of multiple rejections. Not every writer wants to—or can—commit to that uphill climb. The good news? Writers today have real choices. Hybrid and indie publishing offer viable, professional paths to getting your book into readers’ hands—without sacrificing quality or control. In this half-day workshop, we’ll break down the differences between hybrid and indie publishing, the pros, cons, and costs of each model, and how to evaluate which path is right for you. We’ll also dig into the nuts and bolts of indie publishing, including formatting, cover design, distribution, marketing strategies, bookstore and library access, and how to set realistic expectations. I’ll share candidly from my own publishing journey—the triumphs, the missteps, and the lessons learned—so you’ll leave with a clearer sense of what it really takes to publish outside the traditional model. 

This workshop will take place online. 

Saturday, March 7th, 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
