TOPICS
I love talking about almost any topic related to the writing craft and the publishing voyage; I have provided some examples here.
Using Short Fiction to Create Income and Connect with Readers - This was the topic of the book Taking the Short Tack, which I co-authored with Mark Leslie Lefebvre; click here for more information.
Podcasting for Authors - Click here for a live video interview I did with Dale L. Roberts of Self Publishing with Dale.
Author Self-Promotion - This is a topic I have addressed at several writers' group meetings, including the Brandywine Valley Writers Group, the Wilmington-Chadds Ford Writers Group, and the Main Line Writers' Group.
Indy Publishing in a Nutshell - A high level overview of the independent publishing process, players, tools, and resources.
