My PowerPoint Presentation on Self-Publishing For the Library of Congress

I have the honor of speaking at the Library of Congress on Tuesday, June 21st at 12 noon and I have taken an hour-long PowerPoint presentation and boiled it down to a few minutes. Much will not make sense without my talk to go along with it, but for my fans who can't make it, you'll get the gist of the presentation.

You can view the video directly on YouTube by going here.

The music has been put into the public domain by its creators: Everybody, by K-391

Then overstimulated by the excitement, I will probably experience transient global amnesia and go off screaming about the reptilian overlords of Tajikstan and their plan to steal our air and it will all degenerate into me going into a fetal position in a corner and making motorboat noises with my lips.

I would like everybody to bring a tub of lard as well as an assortment of grease guns and spatulas for a group project. It’s going to be fun!
