An Indie State of Mind
Wednesday, December 7, 2016
2-3 PM ET, 11 AM-12 PM PT
The indie book movement has become a vibrant part of America’s reading culture, and that’s in no small part due to advances in digital self-publishing. With more than 90% of U.S. libraries lending eBooks, libraries have unparalleled power to bring their best local writers to their patrons’ attention and beyond.
This webinar will illuminate how Library Journal's SELF-e program supports statewide, library-driven writing contests to find the best indie books in your community and make them available to library patrons. Join us for this diverse panel discussion among authors, library directors, and industry experts, moderated by Jon Fine, Amazon’s past Director of Author and Publisher Relations. Experts from Library Journal and the SELF-e team will also be available to answer questions and drive discussion on how libraries and local writing communities strengthen their relationship during the indie book movement and beyond.
