Publishing Your Book: A Decision-Making Workshop

Joel Pitney, Launch Your Book

The publishing world has never offered authors more options—or more confusion. In this interactive workshop, author and publishing consultant Joel Pitney will guide participants through a practical decision tree designed to help writers determine the best path for their book, whether that's traditional publishing, self-publishing, working with a publishing company, or building a DIY team. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the publishing landscape, the questions they need to ask before investing time and money, and a personalized roadmap for bringing their book to market with confidence.
