WORKSHOP:
How to Successfully Format & Self-Publish Your Book - Workshop
A hands-on workshop presenting the Print-On-Demand (POD) process that will lead you to success in submitting your manuscript “properly” for POD book publishing.
Some of the topics include:
- Self-Publishing options
- International Standard Book Number (ISBN) and Barcodes
- Who reads what and how much they read
- The “business” of being a publisher
- How to get setup and pick the right options with a POD printing company
- How to “properly” format your book interior and cover
- Bleed and Trim and other terms you need to know about
- How and why to distribute your book through multiple sales channels (or not)
This is an audience participation workshop so bring your laptop and a copy of your files.
I will be using Microsoft Word to demonstrate the steps, but the principals also apply to Open Office and Pages. (Adobe InDesign is of course designed for publishing but it is not required.)
If you don’t have a laptop then bring a tablet or notepad, there will still be a lot of actionable information for you to walk away with.
Join us for an easy to digest and content rich three hours that will leave you empowered to self-publish your book and to reap the benefits, income and prestige from having a published book with your name on it.

Testimonials
What others are saying about working with Rory Briski and attending his workshop on self-publishing:
Mac Alexander Macdonald, Corporate Trainer, and author of the book “Lighting Your Own Fuse - A Glossary of Mission, Vision, and Passion”.
Rory Briski is to self publishing what a computer wizard is to your deliverance when you are flummoxed, stressed and intimidated by the process. As an advisor to your writing and book publishing goals he is like those pizza ads - he delivers.
Kevin Arthur Hart, author of the book “A Thousand Screaming Monkeys”.
Rory Briski was key in helping me learn how to self-publish my first book, A Thousand Screaming Monkeys, and get my message out to the world. Many miracles took place to accomplish this, and Rory is certainly one of them. With every question, he proved an inexhaustible source of understanding and knowledge on the subject. Without his wisdom, kindness and commitment, learning self-publishing surely would not be such an exciting and enjoyable process. It helps tremendously that he is also an accomplished writer of great books, and lives what he teaches. I will certainly call on him again for help with my next book.
Edward D. Campbell, author of several books including, “Fingerprints and
Behavior”.
Rory Briski’s workshop gave me the self confidence to enter the self-publishing business and the knowledge I needed to get started to self-publish my book, Fingerprints and Behavior. Following that release, I have self-published two further works, The Filibuster Solution and The Cornerstone Brief: And Secrets of the Forgotten American Revolution using the same procedure.
Bill Worth, author of several books including, “House of the Sun: A Metaphysical Novel of Maui”.
I was stuck. I had written two metaphysical novels, House of the Sun: A Metaphysical Novel of Maui, and The Hidden Life of Jesus Christ: A Memoir. After years of trying to find an agent, I abandoned both manuscripts -- but Rory Briski’s workshop on Self-Publishing came along at exactly the right time. After I attended the workshop, I was able to self-publish both books and both are still selling today. If you yearn to self-publish, go to Rory’s workshop. You’ll get lots of good ideas and top tips to save you time and money.

How to Format your Book using MS Word
- Are you frustrated with trying to get Microsoft Word to do what you want it to do?
- Shouldn't doing something like adding in Page Numbers, Pictures or a Table of Contents be easy?
