How to Choose a Publishing Path to Meet Your Needs

Join author and Book Shepherd, Ann Videan, to explore the options for publishing your book.

So, you’ve written a book and want to publish it. Do you wonder if you should self-publish or try publishing traditionally? What about independent publishers? Do you know all the practical and legal steps you need to take to allow your book to become available in bookstores and libraries? With so many choices and requirements, the world of publishing grows more complex every year. Book Shepherd Ann Videan will help you sift through the possibilities to choose the right publisher for your book and walk you through every item you need to complete to ready your book for publishing.

Ann showed up in this world with a pen in her hand, a song in her heart, and the desire to share with you. She adores creativity of all types, and especially the people who live it. She gathers friends like flowers, including authors, musicians, artists, and her husband and two grown-up children. The Colorado native lives in Mesa, Arizona, along with numerous invisible friends including snarky mythical creatures and magical story characters.
