From Northwest Bookfest organizers:
A CALL FOR PRESENTERS:
It’s
hard to believe that six months have passed since our last successful
Northwest BookFest. The Board of Directors is now in the process of
planning BookFest 2013, which will take place November 2 and 3 on the
beautiful Northwest University campus in Kirkland.
Do you have
digital publishing expertise? Do you like mingling with top influencers
in the publishing industry? Do you have a passion to teach? Do you have a
service or product that can help local authors achieve their goals? The
2013 Northwest BookFest is looking for highly dynamic presenters for
this year’s writer’s conference.
Authors, publishers, editors,
booksellers, librarians, publicists, and bibliophiles in general will be
treated to a jam-packed weekend of workshops, panel discussions,
classes, and readings.
This year’s event will feature dozens of
author appearances and book signings in every genre from children’s
books to espionage thrillers.
We will have time slots for 60
workshops, panels and presentations on all aspects of writing and
publishing. Presenters will include:
Editors
Writers
Publicists
Indexers
Ebook providers
Printers
Distributors
Online and Digital Marketers
The
workshop portion of the conference, which has proven in the past to be
one of the most popular parts of Northwest BookFest, will focus on
enhancing writing and publishing skills. Presentations will include
utilizing new technologies within the publishing industry such as:
social media, digital publishing and other key factors that are
influencing our new digital publishing revolution.
