If you've ever wanted to publish a book but haven't known where to start, join us for this invaluable FREE information session with
STEPHEN MARKLEY, author of the new book, Publish This Book: The Unbelievable True Story of How I Wrote, Sold, and Published This Very Book.

Fed up with the Byzantine quest of trying to get a book published, Stephen Markley decided to cut to the chase and simply write a hyperkinetic high-concept memoir about trying to publish a book—the very book he was writing, now titled Publish This Book. This is the modern-day saga of a plugged-in, hyped-up, idealistic, ambitious, arrogant, audacious, unyielding young writer, who's tired of waiting his turn. He discusses everything from the pitfalls of narrating your life as it unfolds to those tumultuous early years of adulthood when the promise of youth still holds the capacity to inspire awe. It is a story of the struggle to find your true voice in your work and in your life, given form as the author seeks a way to Publish This Book.

Markley will discuss his personal experience, provide advice for writers aspiring to publication, and take questions about the entire process—from writing to finding an agent to selling and promoting your book. This is an invaluable evening of information for anyone who’s ever considered traditional publication.
