Is there a book in you?

If you've ever wanted to publish your Great Canadian Novel, don't miss this workshop.

Books offer perceived credibility and expertise in your field. However, book publishing takes a great deal of time and money. It is not for the faint of heart. Even if authors are able to land a traditional publisher, the process and result are generally not what they expected. The learning curve was something they could have done without.

This workshop will alleviate some of the myths of book publishing and help you with the tools you need to make your book come true. You will learn:

• How the publishing industry works

• How to get your book close to the top of the slush pile

• Other ways to get your book to market

• Tips on how to protect yourself from “book predators”

• About the process that goes into developing a book
