Falls River Books Writers Morning Out- Jon Batson, Midnight Whistler Publishers
Jon Batson, Founder of Midnight Whistler Publishers will be stepping in to speak on Self-Publishing as Henry Hutton, of PublishandSell.com, will be unable to join us due to a family emergency. Our hearts and prayers are with him and his family. We will look to reschedule Henry on a future date.
Jon will speak and answer questions on:
- Who should self-publish? (Why that should probably include you.)
- What is POD and how using it can launch your career as a writer.
- eBooks - What they are, how they work, who uses them and how you can benefit by having one.

Heather LittleI enjoyed meeting other authors and sharing experiences. The information Jon gave on self-publishin
g was interesting. I have an agent and don't expect to go that route, but it's still nice to know what's available out there.

Eileen Batson: PublicistCo-OrganizerThanks to the great group of writers who came out to hear a talk on self publishing. Glad we could share what we know with you. Virginia gave a quick overview of the NC Writers Network and I believe everyone attended had something to share that we all benefited from. Thanks to Steve Elliott and Falls River Books for the space, coffee and cookies. See you next month for Lydia Dare.
