Small scale publishing, self-publishing, and print on demand, catering for academic niches too small for conventional publishers is increasingly common.
This training session from two experienced practitioners will look at why you might consider self-publishing and what that entails.
We will be looking at different ways of going about it, and everything in the process from preparing text, to typesetting, to securing an ISBN, to reaching your audience and different ways of printing on demand.
