The theme this year is Navigating in the Digital Age, um, totally could have used this a few months ago when trying to figure out how to publish my book.
The focus of this year's bookfest is on the benefits and challenges of digital publishing. For $99, participants can attend two days of workshops, taught by established writers and trade professionals, on topics ranging from e-books and digital distribution to social networking and online marketing. There are also a number of free panel discussions, like the one I will be on, for those who don't want to, or can't pay the $99.
Aside from workshops and panels, there are also a number of vendors at NWBF. You'll find independent bookstores, networking groups for indie publishers, writers, distributors, crafts, editors and more.
On Saturday evening, November 2nd, Kirkland
restaurants and wine shops will team with writers for a special evening of
author presentations called “Wine and Words.”
Mixing poetry with jazz is the focus of the Wine and Words evening at
