REHOBOTH BEACH — The Rehoboth Beach Writers Guild will be hosting “Self-Publishing 101: A Guide to Prepping Your Book for Print” from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Feb. 25 at The Lutheran Church of Our Savior.
The class costs $50 for guild members and $60 for nonmembers. It will be taught by Crystal Heidel, founder of Byzantium Sky Press, a boutique independent publisher.
Reservations are required by Saturday, as seating is limited.
Ms. Heidel, who has uploaded and designed numerous books for authors interested in self-publishing, will offer writers a list of steps necessary for the process. These include such things as how to select a designer; why writers shouldn’t try to design the interior of the book themselves; why writers shouldn’t use Word for the final interior design; what fonts to use and why; how to order galley copies; how and where to purchase ISBN numbers; and how to apply them to Kindle Direct Publishing.
Ms. Heidel has designed book covers for guild members and won multiple awards from the Delaware Press Association’s annual Communications Contest. She is also a writer herself, winning first place in the association’s competition for her own independently published “Still Life in Blood” (2013).
