Morning Session: Publishing with a Small Independent Press
Martha Gies will walk writers through the author’s journey working with a university press and a small independent publisher, comparing the two.

Now recently retired from teaching, she has published a new book, Broken Open (Trail to Table, 2024). A collection of eighteen essays, the book explores a life robustly and thoughtfully lived. marthagies.com
