Thursday, February 9, 2012 @ 7pm (board meeting starts @ 6pm)

Formatting for Self-Publishing provides detailed information on how to self-publish for unpublished and published authors alike. This is a "how to" workshop, not a "should I do it" workshop. Gerri will discuss how to prepare your manuscript for conversion, then take you through the steps for producing a converted document for Kindle, Nook, and Smashwords. It's a must for anyone considering self-publishing their backlist or any work that might not have been mainstream enough for New York.

This meeting will be open to PNWA members only, so please bring your membership card.
