Live Online Workshop with Timothy Mathis
"Self-Publish a Travel Book People Will Actually Read"
Live Online. Sunday, September 7, 3 PM New York, 8 PM London
Intrepid Times is thrilled to partner with Timothy Mathis, a highly successful self-published travel author, to teach you what you need to know about self-publishing your travel book. Myths and misconceptions about publishing and self-publishing abound, and it’s easy to lose your way in the maze. Having sold over 10,000 travel books through self-publishing, Tim will show you why self-publishing may be for you, and how to do it right. You will learn:
- Mastering the technical side without fear: Writers are often intimidated by the technical side of self-publishing. Actually, it’s the easiest part of the process. We won’t dwell on this topic, but we’ll point you in the right direction so you – yes, even you with no computer or internet skills – can easily manage this stage without fear.
- Aligning your book with your audience for sustainable sales. A book that sells is one that resonates with a specific and well-defined readership. Understand how to figure out the real audience for your book and structure your book’s presentation so that it appeals to and is discovered by these readers. Learn how to sustainably build momentum and acquire a dedicated readership who consume every book you publish.
- Traditional publishing vs self-publishing. There’s a general belief that “traditional publishing is better.” In reality, the modern publishing ecosystem is complex, and a variety of strategies are available for achieving your goals. For a lot of travel authors, self-publishing may actually be a better, smarter strategy. Enjoy a frank, clear-eyed assessment to help you make the right decision
