"Like most artists, many writers know nothing about how the business side of their industry works," explains Chislett. "This workshop is designed to not only explain the structures, costings and procedures you will encounter, but also to give you sound strategic and business information to help you navigate the common pitfalls of approaching and dealing with publishing houses."
The workshop will show participants how to take their manuscripts from their bottom drawers to the shelves of bookstores - real and virtual and with or without a publisher. It does not attempt to teach participants what or how to write but help them to position themselves to publish their book successfully. It also covers developing a profile as a writer and marketing.
