Facebook est le plus grand des réseaux sociaux.
Le but d’un réseau social est de mettre en relation des individus.
Il permet de savoir ce que votre réseaux d’amis et de faire savoir
à votre réseaux ce que vous, vous faites. Il permet également de publier
des photos, des vidéos, de faire connaitre vos passions, votre site Internet, votre blog… Présentée par : LYNE LAPALME, Chef des services aux enfants et à la jeunesse Bibliothèque publique de Cornwall 14 h à 15 h Salle de conférence L'inscription est obligatoire WRITERSFEST I’ve written a book. Now what…? Traditional publishing, E-Books and the world of Indie Publishing If you have written or are in the process of writing a book, this seminar is for you. Denise will walk you through the main publishing options available today and will look at the benefits and potential challenges of each to help you determine the publishing path that is right for you. How do I know if my book is ready to publish? Should I print books? Or produce an electronic version? Is it true that traditional publishers are no longer accepting submissions? Is it true that I have to pay for my own editing and marketing, even with a traditional publisher? What’s the difference between self-publishing and co-publishing? Is self publishing worthwhile? How much will it cost? How much can I make? How do I market my book? Is it easy to format? Do I need a cover? Do I need a company to help me? Does (insert genre of book here) sell? What else do I need to do? Presented by: Denise Neilson 12:30 pm to 2:00 pm Program rooms 1 & 2 All WRITERSFEST sessions require free registration due to limited number of seats available.
