The
Ins and Outs of Self-Publishing
The Edison State Creative Writing Club Coalition has planned its March
meeting around the concept of self-publishing, a strategy that is
gaining wide acceptance in creative writing circles. Prolific
self-publisher Terry Pellman is scheduled to address the club on
Wednesday, March 27, from 6 to 7 p.m. in Room 331 at the Piqua campus,
and the public is invited to attend.
Pellman, of Sidney, began his extensive writing trajectory in 2013 with
“Looking Toward Eden” and his latest, published as an e-book in 2018,
is a Christian romance entitled “Caleb’s Cove.” He is currently
revising a collection of short stories and writing a novella.
Topics to be covered in the one-hour session include the following:
avenues for self-publishing, advantages of self-publishing as well as
the pitfalls, the role of social media as a platform for marketing, and
the importance of authors’ self-knowledge and expectations. A
question-and-answer session will follow the presentation.
A graduate of Urbana University and a retired administrator of social
service programs, Pellman says, “I self-publish because I want to
exercise freedom of expression and choice of styles. Self-publishing
works well for those of us who are busy and need to work according to
our own timelines.”
The final meeting of the club for the academic year is scheduled for
April 24 at 6 p.m. in Room 331 at the Piqua campus and will feature
poet Jane Kretschmann. Professor Kretschmann, an Alabama native who has
published extensively, will discuss her research of lynchings in her
home state and her approach to turning the stories of the victims into
poetry.
