To Be Published or Self-Publish? Options & Considerations for Artists Today The print-on-demand revolution as well as an increasing number of small presses interested in photography titles has opened up new publishing possibilities for artists. In this informative and richly illustrated presentation, Mary Virginia Swanson will demystify the process of making a photo book from the perspectives of traditional trade, small press, and self-publishing paths, helping participants determine the pros/cons of each. She will lend practical advice on marketing your book at its release and beyond, stressing the importance of a strong web and social media presence, as well as the value of public presentations and print exhibitions to extend the life of your book. Swanson will share resources from her recent title with coauthor Darius Himes, Publish Your Photography Book which is currently being updated for its 3rd edition (2023). Whether you dream of one day having a book of your photographs or your body of work completed and ready for publication, this webinar will be useful to you.
