The Art Of The Book Launch

​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. ​

Writing in an eBook World

Publishers and Authors for years have been worried that eBooks were going to replace physical books. Trends and articles for half a decade said that it was the inevitable direction things were going in. But it's not true. ​Print books are not going anywhere. But eBooks aren't either! In fact, print book and eBooks blend together and compliment each other in ways that are beneficial to authors and publishers like never before. ​

Writers and Social Media

A conversation between James P. Wagner (Ishwa) and Nick Hale of Local Gems Press about how poets and writers can use social media effectively to get their writing to a wider audience.
