November CIPA Meeting…
Saturday, Nov. 15th

Your Publishing Problems Solved!

One of CIPA's most dynamic and popular offerings are our Round Table discussions. You wanted more...we listened! For our final meeting of 2008 you can go from table to table until your entire publishing project begins to click into place.

Are you uncertain about:

• How to write a press release?
• How to design your book cover?
• Who to use as a printer?
• How to market your book once it's out?
• How to pitch the media and get on radio or TV?
• What your web site should look like?
• What “Print on Demand” is all about?
• What the legal minefields are in publishing?
• What a book designer might do for you?
• How to sell your book on Amazon?
• How to set up successful book signings and events?
• How to break into speaking?

As publishers, we're constantly juggling ideas, questions, issues, concerns, and so much more. But it isn't always easy to know where to turn to for answers. Especially since sometimes you don't even know what it is you don't know!

Well, November's general meeting will be all about getting YOUR QUESTIONS answered!

Our round table discussions are always a hit and at this meeting we'll have some of CIPA's best   experts to answer all your publishing questions and then some! (Plus of course you'll get feedback from your peers at your table regarding your new projects, titles, products, and so on.)
