Keynote  
Program  
Welcome to the best time in world history to be a writer. But if you Google "How to self-publish a book" 9 million responses pop up. How do you know what's right for you? How do you save yourself from publishing preditors? You don't have to write the great American novel. Writing a book for business is a great way to cement your roll as a thought leader, earn another income stream, make sure your voice is heard, and create a tool to be a lead generator for your business. Polly Letofsky, owner of My Word Publishing, has been there, and that’s why she's put together this class that will answer all your questions so you can enter your publishing journey fully informed. This program is set up to introduce you to the basic steps of self-publishing so you'll know what to expect, and to know what you should never put up with. In Publishing 101 you'll get these basic questions answered: - What are my options in publishing? - What are the steps to publish my book? - How long will it take to get my book to print? - What will it cost me to self-publish my book? Polly will teach your group how you can get your book published that can run along side any NY Times Best Seller. Polly Letofsky loves, loves, loves book publishing. That love has turned into a mission: to give authors tools and choices to get their books into the world without making unnecessary and costly mistakes. Polly is best known for being the first woman to walk around the world. It took five years to complete her walk and another six years to write the book about her journey. After a series of bad choices in her publishing endeavors, she launched into a deep dive to study the industry. The results were six national awards for her book, 3mph: The Adventures of One Woman’s Walk Around the World, and the eventual beginning of My Word! Publishing, a self-publishing project management and consulting business.
