"  This information on self publishing was absolutely incredible...$40 - it's truly worth more than that...I did a thorough search of the internet and just couldn't find the answers before taking this class - and you answered questions I didn't even know to have, yet. It was amazing.  "
-Lisa Haynes, Founder of Dakota House Journal

Topics cover everything from layout and book cover, to print-on-demand and copyrights, from ISBN to marketing. A pdf format eWorkbook is provided to each student.

Facilitator Biography

Kara L.C. Jones is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University where she honed her poetic craft under the mentorship of Jim Daniels. Her poetic and non-fiction works have been included in publications such as New Works Review, PoetsWest, Real Henna, Shared Heart Foundation's "Meant To Be", LightHearts Publication's "Soul Trek", MISSing Angels Newsletter, American Tanka, Mother Tongue Ink's We'Moon, Honored Babies, Cup of Comfort series, and more. Because she refused to give her grief writing over to the control of outside editors and publishers after the death of her son, she and her husband Hawk founded KotaPress in 1999 as a creative outlet for their expressive artworks. Many of her works have been published this way, including: Flash of Life, Mrs. Duck and the Woman (in English and Spanish language), Father Son Holy Ghost, BodyWrites, Expanded Mrs. Duck, Self Publishing Made Easy, and more. She has been facilitating online and in-person workshops for over 10 year, including sessions offered at the International MISS Conferences, WA State Poets Association Burning Word festivals, and Course Bridge.
