Getting a traditional publishing deal used to be the ultimate goal of most writers. However, the industry has changed markedly in the last few years thanks to technology - ebooks, audiobooks and Print on Demand (POD) technology as well as the habits of the book-buying public and the entrepreneurial efforts of writers across the world.
This course is not intended to sway you either way, but to give you a balanced view of all the opportunities open to you as an author. Every writer is different. We have varying goals, resources and skills, and publishing is no longer a one-size suits all space.
