Genealogy Club: "Publishing 101"

January 10 @ 6:00 - 7:00 pm

For this special meeting we will be joined by genealogist Erin Moulton, who will discuss "Publishing 101." 

"Do you have a book tucked away in a drawer, waiting to see the light of day? Do you find the steps to publishing daunting and confusing? You’re not the only one! Getting your work published can be a puzzle. Let’s break down the process. We’ll explore different tracks to publishing, including traditional, indie and self-publishing. We’ll also navigate market research, explore the querying process and dive into what you can expect once your book has sold."
