On Saturday 16 November 2019 I’ll be running a short intro course at Island Bay Community Centre, Wellington, on how to get your book published. The centre is located behind the pharmacy at 137, The Parade.
This is a taster course that will run from 2pm to 3:30pm and will cover an introduction to the basics: how to approach agents and publishers, what they are looking for, and what the process of getting published looks like.
The entry cost is $5 unwaged / $20 waged (cash only). All welcome. You don’t have to have written a book! Just bring something to take notes with.
Depending on interest, I plan on running a series of in-depth workshops that will go through the publication (or self-publication) process in detail; including contract negotiation, copyright licensing, editing, marketing, and pitching to journalists.
If there's a particular part of the publishing process you'd like to learn about, please let me know: books@elizabethheritage.co.nz
