What is an Author’s Publishing Collective?
Presented by Serra Wildheart
The journey from dream to published author is sometimes a long one with twists, obstacles, and a few mystery doors. Serra Wildheart will share how she went from dreamer to published and what she learned along the way, including: tips and strategies for finishing the draft, navigating the process from first draft to published (editing and editors, cover artists, etc), how writing groups can help you get there, and finally, how and why she formed the authors’ publishing cooperative, Scribe Hive Publishing. What is a publishing cooperative? Serra will explain what a publishing cooperative is and how they work.
Serra Wildheart is a multi-genre indie author, speaker, and coach. The Legends of Star Junction series invites readers on an entertaining and insightful journey with captivating characters and mystical allies. Wildheart trained with Peruvian medicine men, is a practitioner of Usui and GoldenTeraMai Reiki, and is a book and spiritual coach. Her background in project management, tech, customer service and wine gives her a rich pool of experience to draw from. She is the managing co-founder of Scribe Hive Publishing, which is an authors’ publishing cooperative that provides a community of support for other independent authors. Hiking with the dogs and time outside is cherished. Painting, baking, and sharing good food, wine, and travels with her beloved DogDad (husband) fill the time when she is not writing. In addition to the Legends of Star Junction series, she also published The Rebel Dogs, a ‘just for fun book’ to raise money for animal rescues, and the Lucy & Fizzy Adventure Dogs Series which includes fun and educational books for kids.
As always, all genres and experience levels are welcome and admission is free. If you can, show up early to purchase a snack or beverage (or a book!) in support of our generous hosts at ZU Gallery!
