Your Book, Your Way Finding the Publishing Path That Fits

Presented by Women in Publishing Summit Webinar partner, Luminare Press When it comes to independent publishing, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. What works for your neighbor (or that guy on the internet) might not be the best for you. Don’t let the choices overwhelm you! Instead, learn how to forge a unique publishing path that fits your budget and meets your goals. Patricia Marshall of Luminare Press and Lucent Book Group offers an overview of different publishing models and a discussion of why you might consider one over the other. She’ll outline pros and cons of independent publishing models: self-publishing with assist, hybrid publishing and DIY-ing it, and explain why you might choose one over the other. If you are publishing, the most important thing is to find a path that works for you. Check out their offer: https://womeninpublishingsummit.com/l... About Patricia Marshall Patricia Marshall is the founder and owner of Luminare Press, a company that offers book design and publishing services for authors. A former magazine editor, she jumped into the self-publishing field in 2010 after her 89-year-old mother self-published her first novel. That experience, completed with a lot of family help but little professional guidance, led her to recognize that independent authors needed the help and encouragement of publishing professionals, and Luminare Press was born. Patricia enjoys talking to authors about the book business and leading a talented team of designers and editors who guide clients through publishing with patience and humor. She has a thorough knowledge of the bookmaking process and a passion for non-fiction book editing, as well as a strong desire to help authors produce a polished, professional book. She has a degree in journalism from the University of Oregon, an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from Goucher College in Baltimore, and a certificate in Digital Journalism from Media Bistro in New York. She was the editor of the nationally distributed Forest Magazine from 2003–2010, and the experience of creating a magazine ready for the newsstand transitioned naturally to creating books ready for sale.
