Tutor: Kevin Booth.
Writing and publishing a book is a huge feat of artistic expression. Just a few years ago, and author's creative input into their work would virtually cease the moment they handed their manuscript to a publishing house. Now, new technologies allow authors to once again retain control of the entire creative process. So-called "self-publishing" is actually a collaborative creative effort of diverse professionals, in which the primary creator takes the driving seat.
Writing and publishing a book is a huge feat of artistic expression. Just a few years ago, and author's creative input into their work would virtually cease the moment they handed their manuscript to a publishing house. However, this was not always the case, and new technologies now allow independent authors once again retain control of the entire creative process. So-called "self-publishing" is actually a collaborative creative effort of diverse professionals, in which the primary creator takes the driving seat. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on independent authors making the creative, production and marketing decisions about their own work, while retaining and exercising their rights to their own work.
Participants in this course will learn how to publish their writing projects to a professional level, harnessing the latest technology to do so, learning where to look for the resources they need and avoiding many expensive pitfalls along the way. This course is aimed at authors of all kinds, both fiction and non-fiction. The content is divided into four sessions of two parts each.
