10:00 am: GETTING FROM HERE TO THERE: FROM MANUSCRIPT TO BOOK10:00 am: GETTING FROM HERE TO THERE: FROM MANUSCRIPT TO BOOK – The chances of being traditionally published today are slimmer than ever. With e-book sales soaring and publishers consolidating, traditionally published books are a small minority of the 4,000 books published every day. For the vast majority of aspiring writers who want to see their works in print or in an e-book, independent publishing, self-publishing, and hybrid publishing have become the only options. But fear keeps many new writers from approaching the steep learning curve of indie publishing and self-marketing, and many of them don't know where to start. This series of workshops will demystify the steps to indie publishing, helping fence-sitters get off the rail and into print. The five "Getting from Here to There" workshops will cover: Session 1: Choosing your publishing path - The main considerations in choosing your publishing route. We discuss the various options from DIY to Create Space and Ingram Spark to hybrid publishers; what determines which path is best for you and what resources you need. Session 2: Getting your book ready - Preparing your manuscript and cover. We discuss writing second, third and fourth drafts, the four types of editing, beta readers, front and back of book materials, formatting and cover design. Session 3: Time to GO! - Publishing, printing, and distributing. We discuss metadata, copyrights, the importance of proofs, writing marketing copy and its uses, pricing, publishing e-books and audio books, printing and distribution. Session 4: Marketing essentials - The social media musts. The three essentials in marketing your book are author websites, Author Central, and an author Facebook page. We look at website options and set up a Facebook page. Session 5: Other marketing options - Going beyond the basics. We discuss advertising, consultants, reviews, personal appearances, book give-aways, bloggers, contests and distribution options.

1:30 pm: Conversations at the Culver: No-Place is Like Home1:30 pm: Conversations at the Culver: No-Place is Like Home – On November 5, Inlandia will bring you a special Conversations at the Culver event, No-Place is Like Home, featuring JJ Jacobson and Juan Delgado, which draws inspiration from the current Mundos Alternos exhibit, part of the Getty Pacific Standard Time project. From 1:30 - 3:00 pm, join us for a two-part discussion and Q&A on science fiction and the Americas. No-Place is Like Home will focus on our notions of “Latin America”. Though the inhabitants of the Americas have experienced centuries of colonization, intellectuals from various fields, including science fiction authors and artists, have complicated our understanding of “Latin American” and “Latino/a” and provided us with ways of rethinking these inventions and constructs about a region that is diverse culturally and geographically. Make your visit to UCR ArtsBlock complete: Arrive at 12 pm and enjoy a complimentary tour of the Mundos Alternos exhibit. We will gather next door at the California Museum of Photography’s front desk to begin the tour, which will conclude with refreshments in the Culver Center prior to the start of the formal program. JJ Jacobson holds a MS in Information from the University of Michigan School of Information. Since 2005 she has been a metadata librarian, cataloger, director of a virtual library system, rare books librarian, and collection curator. In 2015 she was appointed Jay Kay and Doris Klein Science Fiction Librarian at UC Riverside, curating the Eaton Collection of Science Fiction and Fantasy (and other genres too numerous to mention). She has previously published and presented on metadata, virtual environments, role play as a concomitant of research, virtual world librarianship, American culinary history, the Eaton Collection, and the literary genres and subgenres of speculative fiction. Juan Delgado is the author of four books of poetry, including Green Web (Georgia University Press, (Contemporary Poetry Series Award) and A Rush of Hands (Arizona University Press). His book El Campo (Capra Press) is a collaboration with renowned artist Simón Silva, and his Vital Signs (Heyday/Inlandia Imprint) is a collaboration with photographer Thomas McGovern featuring evocative scenes of San Bernardino and the Inland Empire and recipient of an American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation. Delgado teaches Creative Writing at CSUSB. He holds an MFA from the University of California at Irvine. |
