While there is a trove of resources for creating books, the same cannot be said for what to do with them after being printed.

In this thought-provoking panel discussion, industry experts provide a comprehensive breakdown of three important factors for viable publishing – book sales, distribution, and marketing techniques. Learn methods to increase the visibility of your book, make the most of trade opportunities, and handle distribution networks with ease. Regardless of your level of experience as a publisher, this panel offers practical ideas you can action to advance your imprint, getting your books off the shelf and into readers hands.
