Should I Self-Publish? (And What That Really Means)

Wondering if self-publishing is right for you?
It can be empowering, flexible, and rewarding — but it's not as simple as uploading a Word doc and waiting for sales.

In this practical, myth-busting session, speculative fiction author Belinda Crawford shares what self-publishing really takes: the tools, the timeline, the budget, and the mindset.

We’ll cover:

• The pros and cons of self-publishing vs traditional routes

• The costs (and how to keep them sane)

• Tools you actually need — and the ones you don’t

• Distribution, discoverability, and finding readers

There’ll be plenty of time for questions — especially the ones you’re afraid to ask.
