Self Publishing Workshop with Mark McNEase
Publishing has changed. The path from finished manuscript to published book has never been more accessible, but it can also feel overwhelming without the right guidance. This workshop demystifies the self-publishing process from start to finish, covering everything from manuscript preparation and formatting to cover design considerations, ISBN registration, metadata, distribution platforms, and how to position your book for readers.
Drawing on years of experience as an independent author and publisher, Mark will walk you through the decisions you’ll need to make, the tools that work, and the pitfalls to avoid. By the end, you’ll have a clear, realistic picture of what it takes to bring your book into the world on your own terms, with professionalism and confidence.

Afternoon Tea
Step into a cozy afternoon that feels like visiting Grandma, (if she were British). Imagine a charming English cottage, where the tea is always warm, the china is mismatched just so, and every bite is served with care.
Join us for a high tea featuring a mini, brunch-inspired fare, with thoughtfully prepared sweet and savory bites. Sip, chat, and steep yourself in stories and steaming pots of tea, in an intimate, bookish setting.
This experience is BYOB, because even Grandma understands a well-chosen pour. Juice mixers and soft drinks will be available for purchase, if you’d like to craft a sparkling mimosa or a light, fruity spritz to accompany your tea.
Get ready to settle in, and savor an afternoon designed for conversation, comfort, and a little old-world charm, with a gentle twist.
