Are you a writer considering self-publishing? Are you an expert who wants to build your business by writing a book? 

Whether you have a large audience or are writing for people in your own community, Keri Wyatt Kent knows how to walk you from your dream to the finished product. Keri authored more than 10 books using a traditional publisher before making the switch to self-publishing. Now she works as a coach for authors who want to take the DIY approach.

In this week’s episode, you can expect to learn:

  • The difference between a vanity publisher and self-publishing and which you should choose.
  • Reasons that self-publishing may be the right choice for you and your business or ministry.
  • The roles of a publisher and what kind of helpers you will need on your team in order to be successful in creating your book.

So, listen in and soak up the wisdom that Keri has for us today!

Keri is also offering a free Advent devotional called The Gift of Christmas Present. Go to her website at www.keriwyattkent.com to learn more and access the devotional.
