Preliminary Program Grid for John Hartness

This is the Preliminary program schedule. John Hartness may or may not actually be on these items, but probably will. However, due to circumstances beyond our control, modifications to the program can occur throughout the convention.

Friday 5:00 pm: Is There Still a Self Publishing Stigma? (Ends at: 5:55 pm) Eisenhower
Participants:Ken Altabef, John Hartness , Nate Hoffelder, Leslye Penelope (M), Diana Peterfreund
For years many readers and reviewers have assumed that if a self-published (aka independent) book was any good it would have been published by a professional press. Many say that self-published books are poorly edited and proofed. But younger readers have less of a bias and services such as Kindle Unlimited allow readers to try books before paying for them. Is there still a stigma against self-publishing? What can their authors do to create a more positive image for these books?
