Turning Images into Gold
Workshop Date: Friday, March 09, 2012 - 11:00 AM
Workshop Speaker: Jeff Sedlik
Are you receiving monthly royalty checks from the retail sale of your work?
You should be! There IS gold in your files. Photographer and self-publisher Jeff Sedlik will provide you with the knowledge and tools that you need to succeed in marketing your work for retail sale.
You'll learn time-tested methods to tap into this lucrative market, either by self-publishing or through submission to publishers and distributors. If you'd like to self-publish, you'll learn about the entire process, from image selection to advertising to distribution. If you'd like to limit your involvement and simply sit back and cash royalty checks, you'll learn how to submit your work to publishers, how to get your work accepted for publication, and how to best structure and negotiate your contract with a publisher or distributor.
