Event description:

Whether you’re trying to find a publisher to bring your children’s book to life or would like to embark on a self-publishing journey, this workshop will equip you with behind-the-scenes knowledge of the publishing industry. We’ll cover everything from formatting your manuscript for submissions, leveraging social media to build your author profile, how to get your books into shops, and more.

(Note: this is not a writing workshop, but we will talk about things to avoid as an author.)
