The Self-Publishing Book Expo has put together four panels for its November 7th conference - with more to come!
- “Understanding Distribution” will feature Andy Weissberg of Bowker as moderator, with discussion by Janet McDonald of Ingram, Eric Kampman of Midpoint Trade, and Brent Sampson of Outskirts Press.
- “The Rise of Ebooks” will be presented by Mark Coker, founder of Smashwords.
- “Buzz Your Book” features M.J. Rose (major get!), Doug Clegg (hi, Doug!), and Karen Mender (co-founder of the Self-Publishing Book Expo).
- Brent Sampson gives an additional session called “Three Paths to Publishing”, where he presents three different publishing scenarios for authors not sure which direction to take.
The Expo’s website has also been updated with information about authors who are exhibiting. It’s a thrilling event and I plan to be there!
