New Adventures in Self Publishing
2015-04-30 18:30, 2015-04-30 18:30 - 19:11 | Wailuku Public Library, 251 S High St, Wailuku, HI, 96793, United States
Author Jill Engledow will talk about “New Adventures in Self Publishing” at [library and date]. Engledow, who has previously been published by traditional methods, recently put out a novel as both an e-book and a print-on-demand version. These two technologies, along with the Internet, are driving a new kind of book publishing that is still in the pioneer stages as writers and publishers learn how to best use these tools. For readers, the changes have meant fewer brick-and-mortar bookstores but greater access to a wide range of “indie” books and the convenience of downloading books to e-readers. Engledow will discuss how these changes are playing out and how several Maui authors are using these technologies to publish and distribute their own books.
Jill Engledow is an award-winning writer who specializes in Maui history. After working for 17 years as a reporter and editor at The Maui News, she became a free-lance writer in 1998. Her books include Island Life 101: A Newcomer's Guide to Hawaii and Haleakala: A History of the Maui Mountain. Her first novel, The Island Decides, is now available on Amazon.com.
