Assuming the Risk for Your Own eBook - A DCL Webinar

by Laura Dawson
Bowker | Tue Feb 11, 2014

When an author publishes a book in the traditional way, the publishing house assumes the risk - the costs of publishing - in the hopes that the book sales will recoup that investment and begin generating a profit. The publishing house is, in effect, taking a bet on the book that it will do well and warrant that investment. 

But when authors self-publish, they are assuming that investment themselves. And there are some costs that new-to-publishing authors may not know to take into account as they begin investing in services to bring their books to market. 

In a webinar sponsored by Digital Conversion Labs, Bowker’s Laura Dawson will explain how you can make your best possible eBook, ensuring a professional level product more likely to turn readers’ heads. 

Laura Dawson is Product Manager for Identifiers at Bowker. She has previously worked for Firebrand, Muze/Rovi, SirsiDynix and Barnes & Noble.com, among others. Her independent consulting clients in the publishing industry have included McGraw-Hill Higher Education, Cengage, Audible, Alibris, and many more. Register for the webinar here.
