Self Publishing 101 for Pagan Authors

Friday February 21, 2025 9:30am - 11:00am EST

So many practitioners and teachers have the knowledge to share, but aren't sure how to get it to the hands of those seeking it. As an author, artist, and advocate, my goal is to get the tools to publish into the hands of those with something to say.
We will go over how to structure and edit your book, how to choose which distributors to publish through, how to find a cover artist and illustrator or create your images, ways to format your book for publishing, and give you the rundown about the dreaded "M" word: marketing.

Conversation with Mother Mary

Friday February 21, 2025 7:00pm - 8:30pm EST

Conference Room G

A practicing animist, Mikki Baloy has developed an ongoing personal relationship with Mother Mary (yes that one). This relationship, which has been somewhat outside the usual church-centric ideas, has led to Mary becoming a primary ally in Mikki's Shamanic and ritual practice. This informed her book, "Conversations with Mother Mary: Loving Wisdom from Her Life to Yours," published in 2022. In our time together, Mikki will offer a reading, discussion and Q&A, and perhaps a short channeled message from Mary herself.
