Going Hybrid: Best of Both Worlds
Join New York Times, USA Today and national bestselling hybrid authors to discuss the pros and cons of being both indie and traditionally published. They’ll cover benefits of wide distribution, cross-marketing, and backup income, as well as challenges and pitfalls of negotiating contracts, scheduling releases, working with agents and publishers, and juggling too many projects.
Speakers: Brooklyn Ann is a multi-published author. She’s published with a traditional large press, a small press, and indie. She has written Historical Paranormal Romance with Sourcebooks, Rock Star Romance with Boroughs, and Urban Fantasy under her own imprint.
Cristin Harber is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Titan, Delta, and Only series. Published independently and with 1,001 Dark Nights/ Evil Eye, she owns the publishing company that launched Titan World, was a launch author for Liliana Hart’s independently owned MacKenzie world, and is a featured author in New York Times #1 bestselling author Barbara Freethy’s 7 Brides for 7 Soldiers series.
HelenKay Dimon is an author of over fifty romance novels and novellas. She is an RT Reviewers’ Choice Award winner and two-time RITA® finalist in romantic suspense. The majority of her work has been in traditional publishing but she’s been branching out with an indie published series of shorts and has a new series planned that mixes suspense and hot romance in a futuristic setting (space cowboys!).
New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author, Paige Tyler, is a traditional and indie published author with more than fifty books, including the Special Wolf Alpha Team (SWAT), X-OPS, SEALs of Coronado, and Dallas Fire & Rescue. She’s written for small-press publishers, and now writes for a New York publisher, owns an Amazon Kindle World, and is indie published. She’s navigated the difficult issues of being an indie author in the world of New York publishing contracts, and is ready to share her experiences, good and bad.
