Ever thought about publishing a book? Do you have a manuscript but don’t know what to do next? Then this 1 day self-publishing workshop is for you. A perfect workshop for intermediate level writers
Join USQ Senior Lecturer in Editing and Publishing/Creative Writing, Dr Dallas Baker, for this one day workshop in learning the finer details of turning your manuscript into a published book.
Participants will be taken through the process of self-publishing a polished manuscript as well as the post-publication stages such as marketing. Bring your manuscript (a completed work) to publish at the end of the workshop (if practical).
It would be best if the manuscript has been professionally edited by someone other than the author. Don’t have someone to edit your work before the workshop? Dallas can connect you with editors. Contact us before the workshop to discuss further.
