Indie authors to hear how to turn a manuscript into a book, March 12

Katherine Pickett, owner of POP Editorial Services, will be guest speaker at the next meeting of the independent authors group of National Press Club members on Thursday, March 12, from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the McClendon Room.

Authors who have published via the independent route (sometimes called self-publishing) are invited to attend. Contact Ed Barks at [email protected] for your invitation.

The group also extends a special invitation to Club members who may be in the process of writing a book and want to learn more about the benefits of indie authorship.

Pickett's topic will be "How to turn your manuscript into a book."  She is the author of the award-winning book "Perfect Bound: How to Navigate the Book Publishing Process Like a Pro," now in its second edition.

Pickett offers copy editing, proofreading, and developmental editing to authors and publishers across the country. More information on her is available online by clicking here.

Independent authors manage their own publishing businesses rather than relying on agents and traditional publishing houses, gaining added control of their content and speed to market.
