BackMyBook is Back at the 25th SCWC
The BackMyBook crew had a great time at the 25th annual Southern California Writer's Conference this past weekend in San Diego. We absolutely love, love, love this conference. For whatever reason, it is always attended by the nicest people and most amazingly talented writers on the planet. It is always an impressive event, and you can be sure that one way or another these attendees are writing the books that we will be reading in the next years.
The overall theme of this installment of the SCWC was defintiely the rapid changes going on in the publishing industry right now, and the amazing opportunities they represent for all authors. We were excited to lead a workshop on Taking Control of your writing career - lending a bit of our entrpreneurial perspective to the process of writing, building a brand and community, and publishing. Then we had a wonderful opportunity to really roll up our sleeves and get into it leading an evening workshop on Branding, Author Websites, and 21st-Century tools for authors. We capped the weekend off with the E-ndependence Panel on the horizons opening up in the newly-legitimized world of self-publishing. All-in-all wonderful information, wonderful people, wonderful talent on display, and getting better all the time -- we can't wait for the next one!
