These are the slides from a talk for the Center for Asian Pacific American Women’s Educators Compassion Circle.

Session description:
At our Educators Compassion Circle on February 16, 2023, Matthea Marquart will share about the process of publishing the book Designing Engaging and Interactive Synchronous Online Class Sessions. She co-edited this book with colleagues Lia W. Marshall, Rebecca Y. Chung, and Kristin Garay.

For folks who are thinking about future book-publishing, Matthea will share about:
** The road from thinking about & wanting to write a book, to publishing it
** Deciding on the modality of the book (print vs ebook)
** Choosing a publisher
** The costs of publishing
** Doing a market scan to gauge what books are already out there
** Copyright issues and what you will & won’t be allowed to share freely after publishing
** Collaborating with co-authors or co-editors
** Inviting and working with chapter contributors
** Easing your way into book publishing by becoming a chapter author
** Your responsibilities and options around marketing

This will be an interactive session, with lots of opportunities to share your own experiences with publishing, and to ask questions.
