This show is a West Coast version of the very successful conference we presented in New York to a packed audience of agents, publishers and other professionals:
“By far the best digital publishing conference I’ve ever attended and I try to go to all of them in the NYC area. It was a day packed with cutting edge info and insights into the new technologies that are changing traditional publishing in ways we could hardly even imagine four or five years ago. Absolutely exhilarating.”
Betty Sargent, Freelance Editor
(See the general introductory page for even more enthusiastic testimonials from the New York show.)
**NEW: Best-selling author Bob Mayer will join eBooks for Everyone Else in San Francisco to discuss epublishing, self-publishing, and how he’s used his extensive backlist to build a successful publishing operation and loyal readership.**
