This is not a how-to self-publish workshop, or a how-to get published seminar.
Instead, Vermeersch will discuss the historical and present-day contexts of self-publishing, its uses and usefulness, as well as its promises and inevitable pitfalls. Armed with a knowledge of self-publishing from Gutenberg to Instagram—a history rich with revolution, community-building, craftwork, and scams—attendees will be better able to decide for themselves if self-publishing is right for them and their writing project, or if pursuing traditional publishing might be more suitable.
