This workshop could be the most important step you will ever take toward getting your book published! This day-long seminar is going to be the most popular ever hosted by our CWC, Sacramento Branch. Amazon.com recently reported that digital downloads now outsell paperback and hardback books combined. Unquestionably, eBooks are the future of book publishing and the fastest possible way to get your work out to the reading public. There are still some openings for the workshop by Mark Coker, the leading expert in that field and the founder of the on-line eBook website Smashwords. In a single session you will learn how to produce, distribute and sell your work in the evolving publishing world.
