Event Concluded

Event Description

Getting into publishing or creative industries can be daunting, and even seasoned writers can struggle to navigate it with professionalism and ease. In this workshop, Hella will demystify the industry and provide an overview of the different kinds of publishers, how to get your book in the door, the editing process, marketing your work and more.
Come ready with your questions as we dive deep into what to expect when publishing your book.

You will learn:
· Different types of publishers, traditional and non-traditional.
· The different pathways to getting your book in the door (from slush piles to agents to competitions).
· The editing process: how it works in-house.
· Tips for self-editing and preparing your manuscript/work.
· What it costs to produce a book or publish short pieces, and what you can expect to be paid.
