Have you written a book? Fiction or Nonfiction?

This event will give an overview of self publishing.

The event will focus on eBook publishing.

The aim of the morning is to give you some ideas of how to go forward and publish your book.

There will be three guest speakers:

Rachel Gregory who is the Ebook Programme Manager at Matador. She oversees the ebook creation and distribution processes, as well as the quality assurance procedure. She liaises with authors, retailers and libraries to ensure that their ebooks stand the best chance of selling.

Naomi Green, Production Controller at Matador. Naomi creates expertly designed covers for books and ebooks, and typesets manuscripts for print. In addition to this, she prepares book files for conversion to ebook format.

eBooks from Matador are available for us to purchase and loan through the Surrey Libraries eBook and eAudiobook Service.

Paul Peters will also be coming to talk about his experiences as a self published author. “I am passionate about football and politics. I have written a series of books entitled The England Story”.

There will be other information on how to self publish.
