Theme of “Power of Positive Publishing” seminar - part of educational component of South’s largest book show – will be “Writing a Book Is the Easy Part – Getting It Published and Marketing It Is What’s Hard”
[USPRwire, Fri Feb 02 2007] When Spring Book Show 2007, the South’s largest book show, opens at Atlanta’s cavernous World Congress Center on March 23, one of the educational components for attendees will be a two-day Power of Positive Publishing seminar for writers, authors and people interested in book publishing.
Some 20 experts on various aspects of writing, publishing and marketing books will be on hand to teach the two-day seminar, entitled “Writing a Book Is the Easy Part – Getting It Published and Marketing It Is What’s Hard.” The seminar will be held at the World Congress Center from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday-Saturday, March 23-24.
Noel Griese, editor of the Southern Review of Books, will moderate the seminar. Among the faculty member presenters are Peter Bowerman, author of the popular Well-Fed Self-Publisher and Well-Fed Writer books; Kennesaw State University creative writing professor Tony Grooms, whose collection of short stories was selected by the Library of Congress-affiliated Georgia Center for the Book as the one book all Georgians were encouraged to read in 2006; Patricia Fry, president of the Small Publishers, Artists and Writers Network; and Larry Feldstein, sales director for the General Book Division of Lightning Source, Inc. of LaVergne, Tenn. Lightning Source, the largest on-demand printer in the United States, is a division of Ingram Book Co., the nation’s largest book wholesaler. A full list of faculty members and their credentials is at http://www.anvilpub.net/author-publisher_seminar_2007.htm
Seminar attendees will be given a guided tour of the Spring Book Show as part of their educational experience. They also get free entry to the show during its three-day run. Admission to the show is normally $50.
The new seminar for authors and publishers, a workshop for operators of used book stores and a seminar for members of the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance (SIBA) will make up the educational component of this year’s Spring Book Show.
