What will you learn from this seminar?

Self-publishing is becoming a popular option for writers, especially when it can be hard to get your foot in the door with mainstream publishers. Self-publishing your book is a useful strategy for professionals or business owners who want to write a book based on their professional experience - a book can often be a credible marketing tool or "calling card". It is also a suitable option for some non-fiction books.

Best-selling thriller author, Matthew Reilly, and the hugely successful Sandra Cabot - author of The Liver Cleansing Diet - both started off as self-publishers. They were both picked up by major publishing houses soon after.

This seminar is presented by Geoff Bartlett and will help you determine if self-publishing is right for you.

It will cover:

self-publishing versus commercial publishing
the steps to successful self-publishing
the importance of editing and layout
how to get your book printed
marketing and distributing your book
what's it all going to cost?

Rave reviews about Self-publishing - How to do it: "Thanks so much for your seminar, it was awesome! I thought the seminar was extremely well organised and the content was to the point and very helpful for aspiring self publishers. My partner and I are going to work on our book - thanks so much!" - Vanessa Volpato "Thank you so much for the Self-Publishing course. It was so informative - the advice on printing was excellent but the advice on the "small business" you become when selling your own book was invaluable. "The information about advertising, publicity, methods of selling etc would be essential to anyone with a small business, whether they're selling a book or not. "The presenters were very honest and generous with their time." - Claire O'Connor "The Self Publishing seminar at the Sydney Writers' Centre was informative and inspiring. The seminar not only covered the process of how to self-publish, but brought it alive with specific examples of how others have put this information into practice. I would highly recommend this seminar to anyone who is exploring their options of how to realize their publishing dream." - Karen Adamedes Author of Hot Tip for Career Chicks "Well I've done it. Little Wins for Working Women is my first "Little" book. Thanks for your encouragement over the past couple of years, I'm really enjoying my writing. I'm working on a couple of new ideas now and will share any success they bring in the future." - Jen Dalitz read more ...
