Smart Self-Publishing with Anna Featherstone

This writing workshop, Smart Self-Publishing with Anna Featherstone, will be held at Writing NSW in Sydney.

Self-publishing is a powerful and accessible path for writers of all genres to connect directly with readers. And yes, it can be fun and fulfilling too!

With publishing experiencing a period of rapid change, this workshop will empower the 'authorpreneur' in you. Whether you’re working on your first book, or thinking of buying back the rights to one of your previously trad-published series, this workshop with Anna Featherstone will be packed with information to help you move forward.

In a practical and engaging way, we’ll dive into the latest techniques, tools, and tactics to help you self-publish smoothly and with impact. You’ll gain valuable insights into every stage of the process, including: pre-publishing, publishing, distribution, marketing and leveraging. You’ll get an understanding of costs, where to find help, whether to outsource or not and how to distribute your book. First, we’ll clarify your goals, and then move on to the ways to achieve them. Finally, be inspired by real life examples of indie authors doing things their way.
