Expired[PAST EVENT] December 2018 Morning Session: People DO Judge a Book By Its Cover! PLUS MEMBERS ONLY BOOK COVER CONTEST AND AFTERNOON HOLIDAY PARTY

We're sorry, but all tickets sales have ended because the event is expired.

  • December 8, 2018
    9:00 am - 3:00 pm

We’re all familiar with the old saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” but this statement simply doesn’t hold true—readers really DO judge books by their covers. With self-publishing settling into the mainstream, fierce competition has upped the ante for independent authors. The finest books have strong, well-written stories—but to rise to the top, to gain traction with readers, even the best book needs a dynamic cover.

Audiobooks have been the fastest growing segment of the publishing world for years now, and with so many great titles available in this format, many people have switched over to audio as their primary way of consuming book content.
