Self-Publishing
Section Info:
Topic: Self-Publishing and Digital Branding As writing in the twenty-first century becomes more networked and digital, fiction and non-fiction writers increase their opportunities for success when they find and create their audiences. Central to this aim is writers’ ability to serve as their own publishing houses. This course explores specific methods on how aspiring writers self-publish their writing and other content, how they inculcate a digital presence, and strategies for finding/creating/growing a digital audience. For example, we will examine how digital branding works across a variety of self-publishing genres, including reviews (Amazon, Yelp, Facebook), ebooks (Wattpad, Amazon), and online videos (YouTube, Twitter, Twitch). Students will develop an active web presence and write in a variety of contexts. While no previous portfolio of writing is necessary, students are encouraged to bring any writing and other creative endeavors they have previously produced.
