Arizona Book Publishing Association
presents Dan Poynter
Opportunities! Book Publishing: Past, Present and Future

November 19, 2009

Where is book publishing going and how did we get here?
What opportunities are emerging as the Book Trade evolves into new forms?

The large publishers are downsizing, the brick and mortar stores are closing, and readers are embracing eBooks. These and other changes are affecting literary agents, wholesalers, distributors, reviewers, printers, truckers and everyone in the book trade. The winners will be the authors and smaller publishers.

Everything you’ve heard about book writing, publishing, distributing, and promoting is obsolete.

Suddenly, research is faster and easier-if you know where to look.
Publishing is quicker and less expensive if you know where to go.
Distribution is simpler and more lucrative if you know the channels.
Book promotion is easier and more fun-if you know where to post information about your book.

With change comes opportunity. These are exciting times to be authors and publishers.

Dan will describe the changes in book publishing and share with us how to take advantage of them.
