The Miami Book Hub: South Florida Writers’ Roundtable, Chapter 3 | Amy Nicole Naim & C.V. Ceci Shaw
📚 On this episode of The Miami Book Hub, hosted by J. Adrian Betancourt, we welcome back co-hosts Amy Nicole Naim and C.V. Ceci Shaw of the South Florida Writers Association for Chapter 3 of the South Florida Writers’ Roundtable — an engaging conversation on the paths to publishing, the region’s thriving literary community, and the craft of finishing a book. Together they trade honest, hard-won lessons from inside the writing life and celebrate a South Florida literary scene they say is having a real renaissance.
The great thing about self-publishing is you have total control. The bad thing about self-publishing is you have total control.
Don’t write to the trends. Just write what you need to get off your heart.
✍️ In this episode, we discuss:
– Traditional vs. self-publishing vs. hybrid publishing
– The event at The Betsy Hotel and author Laura Lekos
– Miami-Dade Public Libraries and writer workshops
– Creative control, editing, and the realities of self-publishing
– Writer’s Spotlight on Betancourt’s debut novel and its Books & Books launch
