By Paul Biba

Off to the Self-Publishing Expo tomorrow morning. Here’s what was said about it earlier:

The Self-Publishing Expo will be held on Saturday, October 2, in New York City. Among the panelists will be Mark Coker of Smashwords.

This year they have an interesting manuscript evaluation session:

How can you maximize your book’s sales potential and make it the best it can be? Get clear-eyed, objective feedback* from professionals who’ve evaluated thousands of manuscripts and queries over their careers. In focused one-on-one sessions, the pros of the Consulting Editors Alliance (www.consulting-editors.com)—a group of highly skilled editors, each with a minimum of 15 years’ New York publishing experience—will comment on the commercial appeal and marketability of your book’s plot or subject matter, identify potential strengths and weaknesses, and brainstorm market positioning and strategy. A good editor is there for you. Let us help your book take the giant step from worthy to absolutely compelling.
* NOTE: Participants will submit a 1- to 2-page synopsis and a 5-page sample in advance of the session.

Tickets are $125. You can find more information here.

I’ll be covering the Expo for TeleRead, as I did last year.
