The US Navy calls a fleet of warships, those ships used to give protection to aircraft carriers, the “Aegis.” The following seminars will introduce you to various mythological genres, Greek, Celtic, Native American, and Egyptian. You may enroll in any of the four, or if you choose the four-evening series, you will enjoy a discounted cost. Please bring note-taking materials. HUM 701 3001 A-333

Save Money, Save Time, Self-Publish
Savor the joy of getting your book-and your name-in print through selfpublishing. Also known as “publishing on demand,” this process saves time, money and stress. These publishers assist you each step of the way and offer a variety of services: editing, typesetting, cover design, printing, marketing, distribution and sales. Select which services you want and get published for under $1000. Better still- No book agents required. No waiting months for a traditional publisher to respond. No rejections. And best of all, you take an active role, retain control and earn bigger profits. Self-published author Tricia Teague (who has worked for a publishing company for the past decade and has the inside track on publishing books) will show you how. Bring note-taking materials and a sack lunch as the cafeteria is not available. WRI 700 3002 Sa 11/5/11 9:00a-3:00p U-304 $70 Tricia Teague 815.825.2086, ext 2040 www.kishwaukeecollege.edu/go/ce/ • 9
