Educating Aspiring Writers on Self-Publishing

INDIANAPOLIS - Sept. 30, 2018 - PRLog -- The author of three reads, Gary Native Adra Young remembers the length of time and effort applied publishing her first book. Winging her way through the ins and outs of the process, her only regret was not having someone to go to for assistance until it was too late.  A firm believer of the famous quote "nothing is as difficult as we make it up to be in our minds, she created a workshop helping potential authors start the process in hopes of making their literary dreams come true.

Understanding the importance of writing your book and establishing a sales plan at the same time, she kicked off her workshop "Self-Publishing for Profit" the summer of 2018 providing insight on the following; The steps needed to create a book, What every potential author should know, and The importance of having a marketing plan. Excited about the possibility that anyone desiring to make their literary dreams come true in the twenty-first century can make it a reality, Young states the following, "Studies indicate that the average of 600, 000 to 1,000.000 books are self-published annually. Why not throw your hat in the ring?  Once upon a time, Self-Published Authors weren't treated with the same respect as traditionalist nor taking seriously when relating to this art form. We live in a world now where Independent Writers have changed the face of the literary game and sales for some are quiet rewarding. The key is simply getting it done and marketing to your target audience in advance prior to your release date."   Conducting her first session for the fall of 2018 at the Valparaiso Library in Valparaiso October 13^th. Indiana, Young hopes to help future authors get the ball rolling with the process with less stress as possible. "Reading on how to publish a book is great but having a person break the process down in laments terms is a plus."
