Are you thinking about self-publishing your novel but have
no idea what steps to take? Then join us for our new 7 class workshop series.
About this Event

Dennis Valdron, prolific writer and veteran self-publisher, will walk you through the steps* in his new workshop series on Self-publishing.

This exciting new 7-week hybrid program will discuss how to get an ISBN number (and why you need one!), the choices of companies that self-publish and their formats, cover designing, what the tax implications are, how to upload and requisition print books, how to read those sales reports, and other functions to keep track of your e-books.

The final class will be your Book Launch at ArtSpace in Winnipeg, where you can bring your book, introduce it and sell it to those in attendance.

*Keep in mind, you should bring a fully edited version of the book you want to have published in order to have a book polished enough to interest readers by the end of the 7 weeks. We will only be going through the basics. Editing is up to you/professional editor. However, even if you are not ready to publish at the end of the 7 weeks you will have learned the process and can attend the book launch to support your fellow writers.
