Faculty, staff, and friends: You're Invited!

Ready to take on the summer? Time to get some publishing done? Give yourself a head start by joining us for an inspiring brown-bag presentation by our own Scott Carter:

The Self-Publishing Revolution:How to Create a One-Person Publishing Empire from Your Laptop 
Wednesday, June 2611:30am—1:00pmWillamette RoomWerner University Center
In the last few years, the publishing industry has undergone a revolution unrivaled since the invention of the Guttenberg Press.  With the rise of online bookstores, ebooks, and print-on-demand technology, a writer can reach a worldwide audience at virtually no hard costs -- as long as the writer has the skills to do it.  Scott Carter, an instructional technologist at WOU and key support person for our online course offerings, is also an accomplished fiction writer and Oregon Book Award winner.  He has sold books to traditional publishers like Simon and Schuster as well as published novels under his own press.  In this 90-minute presentation, he will talk about the pros and cons of both traditional and independent publishing, as well as lay out all the nuts and bolts a writer needs to know to take advantage of the exciting opportunities that exist today.

We hope you will join us for this exciting presentation, offered for free as a part of the MSEd Information Technology Summer Institute.
