The tools of publishing have changed, and authors have taken note. Print-on-demand technology, ebooks, and the prominence of online bookstores have made self-publishing an alluring process to many. But is it right for you? In this 90-minute class, Vinnie Kinsella offers authors insight into the risks and rewards of self-publishing. The class is specifically designed to give authors a clear picture of what the process involves. It will answer the following questions, plus several more:
-- What are the costs of self-publishing?
-- How do I avoid getting scammed?
-- How do I choose the best approach for my book?
-- How much work is really involved?
Vinnie Kinsella has worn many hats: writer, editor, book designer, project manager, publisher, and college instructor. He currently works with independent authors to produce commercially viable print books and ebooks. He is also in the process of publishing his own project, Fashionably Late: Gay, Bi, and Trans Men Who Came Out Later in Life.

rvices or are not currently affiliated with a library, please contact me<mailto:tamara.ottum at state.or.us> to discuss alternative options for borrowing the material.

Dear Library community, I am pleased to announce that the Oregon Digital Library Consortium has reached the over one million mark in circulating items in 2015. I believe this is the third year in a row that ODLC has achieved this milestone. In 2015, our circulation count for the year reached 1,434,197. Over the past year we saw a 13% increase in circulation. We are one of an elite group of consortiums with Overdrive across the United States to have reached this mark in 2015. Please join me in celebrating the accomplishment of getting this many digital ebooks and audiobooks in the hands of our library patrons.
Sincerely,
Esther Moberg
Oregon Digital Library Consortium Chair 2015-2016
Esther Moberg
Library Director
