Quill Hawk Publishing is back again for another WriterCon conference, and this time, we will be offering one-on-one consultations to attendees to discuss a topic of their choice. Space is limited, so be sure to stop at the Quill Hawk Publishing table to sign up and secure your free 30-minute consultation!
Amy M. Le will host a workshop titled "The Ins and Outs of Hybrid Publishing."
Sunday, August 31, at 10:30 am – 11:15 am
Location: Grand Ballroom
Not all hybrid publishers are the same. Some hybrid publishers are vanity presses. Knowing the difference is essential. In this session led by author and publisher Amy M. Le, you will learn the ins and outs of hybrid publishing and why this publishing model is gaining momentum. The workshop will also explore different pathways to publishing, including self-publishing and traditional publishing, to help you determine what's best for you.
Other sessions include:
Author/Editor Speed Dating (limited to 25 participants)
Friday, August 29th at 11:30 AM – 12:15 PM
Location: Balinese
Need an editor? Often, it’s hard for writers and editors to connect unless they happen across each other accidentally or through specific editing sessions at conferences. Join us for a fun, no-pressure way for writers and editors to meet, gauge “chemistry,” and hopefully find a professional “love connection.”
