Peggy Richardson: standing at the intersection of technology and publishing.

Peggy is a geek with a difference. With words as her guide, she has lived a double life in technology and publishing. Drawing on her technical background of over twenty years, Peggy blogs about her specialty in writing and designing non-fiction eBooks at WizardofeBooks.com. Her passion for communication has inspired her to explore cross-over media like video and podcasting, live Internet radio, social media tools and other cutting-edge interactive media. She applies all of these to the creation, marketing, and enhancing of eBooks for herself and her students.

With curiosity and flair, Peggy excels at making the unclear clear, bridging the gap between people and technology, and generally stirring up trouble. She loves teaching, and is well-known for taking complicated technical language and making it accessible and real.

20-Minute Talk: eBooks 101: Is That an eBook In Your Pocket, Or Are You Just Happy to See Me?

The old adage still applies, “Publish or Perish”. But today, it means something totally new, accessible, and best of all, FUN! I’ll show you how to know whether you need to choose digital or paper-based publishing for your business – and what type of either one to choose, as there are many options, including portable ebook readers – and how to turn that into a fantastic wave of new business that can last for years.

Long Talks (1 hour or less)

1) eBooks – The Next Generation

eBooks are no longer the domain of sleazy marketing gurus and shucksters. Now, they are sophisticated, elegant, flexible, and perhaps most important, accessible. We are on the cusp of a new generation of digital publishing. One that takes advantage of all that new media has to offer, and throws off the restrictions and dated labels of the past. Learn why delivering your content via eBook might be not just the fastest route to market, but also the cheapest and the least amount of headaches. I’ll help you self-quiz to cut through all the vast technical choices, and immediately know what approach is right for you. I’ll also give you a free CD with tools  and software to help you market and enhance your eBook product all by yourself.

2) You’ve Written an eBook – Now What?

If you’re thinking about writing an eBook, but you’re not sure what to do with it after it’s produced, here’s your roadmap. This valuable presentation is based on my own eBook of the same name, and includes the same CD offered in the presentation above, but we’ll talk specifics about how to use it to get your eBook out there and selling. We’ll perform some live marketing actions during the talk, and I’ll share some case studies that illustrate what to do, and what not to do. In case you haven’t yet written your eBook, I’ll also show you how to set realistic goals for your project that you can achieve with a little bit of help, or all by yourself. You’ll leave feeling like you know what to do, not just tomorrow, but tonight, to help your project get off the ground quickly.
