No rest for the wicked, as they say. I have two back-to-back live events coming up, both for Blurb. The first covers something new that will blow your mind when you learn how it works. Something we’ve been discussing for over a decade, and for anyone with the intention to sell their books, well, this one is for you. The second covers how to finish your book. I will build a book in real time over ninety minutes. I have a book in mind, and I have it mostly designed, so I will cheat a little on this one, but the goal is to show you how things move and how building a book does not have to be an arduous task. Follow these links and register!
Here are the listings.
Join Dan Milnor for a free online demo of Blurb Instant Store and learn how to sell your book directly and keep more of every sale.
Selling your book directly to your audience can sound like a lot: a website, a payment system, boxes of inventory to store. Blurb Instant Store takes care of all of it. Join Blurb’s creative ambassador, Dan Milnor, for a free online demo and find out how it works.
Dan will walk through setting up a store for a book, from pricing to the product page to checkout, and answer your questions along the way. You’ll learn how to set your price with a calculator that shows your profit as you type. Instant Store offers lower print costs, and there’s no subscription, platform fee, or setup fee. Blurb prints and ships each order as it sells, so there’s nothing to buy or store upfront.
This session is made for authors, indie publishers, photographers, and small presses who are curious about selling direct. No tech skills needed.
You’ll learn how to:
- Set your price and know your profit
- Launch your book’s store in minutes
- Share one link and QR code anywhere
- Get answers to your questions live
Follow along as Dan Milnor makes a photo book to gift from start to finish in Blurb’s updated online editor. Free and beginner-friendly.
The best gifts are the ones you make yourself. Join Blurb’s creative ambassador, Dan Milnor, for a free live session in the updated online editor, where he’ll make a book from start to finish in 90 minutes.
Dan will take a book from a blank page to finished—from choosing photos, laying out pages, and designing a cover. He’ll also answer your questions along the way. Bring your photos and follow along at your own pace, and you can leave with a book of your own that’s ready to gift.
This session is made for first-time bookmakers and anyone creating a photo book to give this holiday season. No design experience is needed. Dan has self-published hundreds of titles and knows how to make the process feel simple, so you’ll pick up practical tips you can use on every book you make.
What you’ll do:
- Follow along as Dan makes a book from start to finish
- Pick up simple tips for layouts, photos, and covers
- Ask questions and get answers live
Make your book with us on November 18, and you’ll be ready to order when Blurb’s biggest sale of the year begins. Can’t join live? A replay will be available on our YouTube channel.
