Publishing VS Self-Publishing
​(7/16/23) 

​​​Poets and Authors frequently hear a ton of information about what the best publishing path is. So many have questions, and with so much conflicting information out there it is often hard to navigate it all. Is traditional publishing still the way to go, despite the shifts and changes in the last 15 years? Or is self-publishing a better option? Does this matter by genre, or book size, and is there a way to make use of both? The publishers of Local Gems Press go over all of this. ​​​

The Art of The Book Launch
( 7/30/23) 

​A book launch is a special time for any author. Publishing a book is a huge accomplishment, and the launch event that follows should be consistent with the level of accomplishment that publishing a book is. The publishers of Local Gems Press have packed out book launches up and down the East Coast and are here to share their tried and true methodology to creating a packed house, a killer show, and increasing book sales. ​
