How to get your book published
2-hour seminar (one evening)

Seminar outline:
Geoff Bartlett is a published author, journalist, actor
and producer. He will share with you his tips on how you
get your book published.

The seminar will cover:

How to write a winning book proposal
After all, you might have the best idea in the world, but
you need to be able to "sell" it to a publisher in a way
that makes them see it as a commercial success. We
show you how to write a proposal that will grab a
publisher's attention.

How to approach publishers
It doesn't have to be scary. You just need to know how
to go about it professionally and in a "language" they
understand. Good publishers are always on the lookout
for good authors, so if you can approach publishers in
the right way, you increase your chances of success.

Do you need an agent?
What does an agent do and do you really need one? We
discuss the pros and cons of having and agent and how
to interest one in your work.

How much should you write before approaching a
publisher?
Do you really need to write your entire story written
before approaching a publisher? We talk about how much
publishers want to see before they say "yes".

Negotiating a fair contract
Publishing can be a tough world! We reveal what you can
expect to get paid and how to negotiate the best deal.

The editing and re-writing process
There's more to getting published than just scoring a
contract. The editing and re-writing process plays a
vital part. Here's what to expect.
