Right now the publishing landscape is awash with change. Publishers are buying less and more cautiously and self-publishing is now an established and effective option for managing the route from writer to reader. However they plan to reach their market, authors need to embrace new ways of thinking and working; choices have to be made.
Our one day course will give you an update on the publishing and writing landscape. However long-established or recent your writing career, this is information you need to know. In addition, we offer practical guidance on how to think about preparing your material for publication - what to do and in what order, and how much time and money to allocate. You will also have the chance to make key connections and gather a support network that will be highly valuable to you in future - and help you sustain your creative practice. We want authors to benefit from all the changes and new services available rather than feel overwhelmed or threatened by them. Our course will also look at the situation afresh; consider tactics that have worked in the publishing industry in the past, as well as the wealth of options available right now.
To this end, we have assembled a significant panel of thinkers and practitioners around the publishing industry and encourage anyone considering making content available to join us. Hosted at Kingston, home of the celebrated Publishing MA, our course offers an opportunity to engage with and understand the landscape - and on this basis to make plans for the future. Whatever your current stage in writing, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
Chaired by Dr Alison Baverstock of Kingston's Publishing MA, the course will offer you access to a wide range of experts in this area including:
The price includes an array of refreshments throughout the day (including lunch) and a free copy of The Naked Author (price £15).
