Getting your book published: sounds easy, right?

Not necessarily! The publishing industry is pretty complex and can generate massively different outcomes depending on the choices you are about to make.

As with anything, there is no one single, perfect solution for everyone. It depends on who you are and what you want from your book, with respect to both writing and publishing. So buckle up, because we're about to tell you everything you need to know.

In this workshop, we will cover topics like:

• Writing tips for a viable manuscript
• How to make your manuscript submission-ready
• Different publishing options and which suits you best
• How to increase the odds of your manuscript being picked up
• Marketing of a published book  

This workshop is for everyone who has started writing, is thinking about writing, or has finished writing a book, and is looking to take the next steps. Even if you are not an author, and just someone who wants to understand the process, this workshop is for you.
