Falmouth Memorial Library  Tuesday, January 10, 2017 at 6:30PM. Self-Published Author Panel Address: 5 Lunt Rd, Falmouth, ME 04105 Phone (207) 781-2351  Local authors share their experiences with self-publishing! So you want to publish your book for the world to see. It’s time for a reality check: writing your book was the easy part — now the real work begins. There is much more to consider than the choice of words and editors. Have you thought about how your book will be formatted or what paper should be used? How do you legally protect your work? Once your book is printed there is yet more work to be done. What is your marketing plan? Books don’t sell themselves, so how will you let people know about your labor of love? Four local authors who have experience with self-publishing their own works will help answer your questions. Join Harriet Schultz, Alison Bramhall, Stuart Haddon, and me for this fun event.
