Bowker is supporting uPublishU at Book Expo America. This one day conference allows aspiring writers and authors to learn from industry experts about self-publishing their works. The presentations cover technology and tools needed to publish in both print and digital. Sessions led by Bowker include: Get To Know Who Your Key Audience Is & Where To Reach Them! and Understanding How to Distribute Your Book. We will also have an exhibitor table where you will be able to ask questions on the ISBN and our self-publishing products, and enter to win our self-publishing prize package. Here are more details on the Bowker presentations:
  • Get To Know Who Your Key Audience Is & Where To Reach Them!--The more you know the readers and consumers of the books you are writing, the better you will be able to target your marketing efforts and where you want (and need!) to promote your books. We will provide a thorough demographic breakdown of the buyers of ebooks and print books by the key book subjects of interest for self-published authors. We will also present a current overview of the book publishing industry by the numbers today. And ultimately, we will help you to understand how these readers and buyers of books are discovering the titles they are reading.
  • Understanding How to Distribute Your Book--Authors will learn how to navigate the book supply chain. In this process we will define terms such as wholesaler, distributor, eretailer, and print on demand. Authors will understand the value of the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) and how to submit their title data to those that will aid them in distributing and selling their book. Definitions and flow charts will be provided.
uPublishU conference attendees will choose sessions by over 40 different speakers. These presentations include bestselling authors, industry experts, and professionals who will share tips, tactics and best practices for authors to take charge of their publishing efforts. Sessions will offer advice for new indie authors as well as authors with several books already in the marketplace . All aspects of the publishing process will be covered. Attendees will also be able to interact with over 24 exhibitors, each with information on how their organization supports authors. Event details:
