Digital Publishing Today - A Must Visit Session

As we all know, digital publishing is the hot topic of 2012. Paul and I presented a self-publishing workshop recently at Writers Victoria and a lot of the day was focused on eBooks, distribution, rights and the concepts of digital publishing. We’ll be putting up information from this workshop on the blog in the near future.

For those interested in this topic (if you’re an author and you’re breathing, you should be) the Copyright Agency is hosting a free event, Digital Publishing Today on Thursday 23 February at the State Library of Victoria, Melbourne. The first session concentrates on educational publishing, followed by lunch (very generously, all are invited) then the afternoon session focuses on eBook distribution and digital publishing with a very interesting line-up of panellists
