Want to know more about POD publishing?

I’m wearing my Waterloo Region PWAC president hat for this post, in order to tell you about a workshop that we are hosting in April.

If you are thinking of entering the world of POD and e-book publishing, veteran freelance writer and author, Paul Lima, can give you the advice and information you need to make your venture successful. On April 9th at 9:30 a.m., he will be presenting his 3-hour workshop, Getting Your Book to Market Using Print on Demand at the Country Hills Branch of the Kitchener Public Library. To learn more about the workshop, drop by http://waterlooregionpwac.blogspot.com/. You can find out more about Paul and POD publishing at his site http://www.paullima.com/.  

The workshop is being presented by the Waterloo Region chapter of the Professional Writers’ Association of Canada (http://www.pwac.ca/). I’ve been the president of this chapter for over a year and a member for six, and I can’t say enough about the benefits of being a part of such a great organization and having the opportunity to meet monthly with such a fabulous group of supportive and professional freelancers. Because of them, I leave every meeting eager to get back to the keyboard and grow my freelancing skills and business. Do you belong to a writing group that inspires you? Have you grown your own group through Facebook or Twitter? I’d love to hear your story.
