A ConsciousCafe workshop for prospective published authors

Are you an author? Would you like to become a published author? Should you offer your book to a traditional publisher or should you become a self-publisher? How do you promote and market your work?  What do you need to know about publishing and publicity?

All these and many other questions will be answered in our publishing workshop which will include:

  • How to find the right publisher for your work
  • How to build your marketing platform
  • How to present your work to a publisher
  • How to self-publish successfully
  • How to promote your book
  • And much, much more

Our speakers have a huge amount of knowledge and experience and they will be sharing the secrets behind their publishing success with you.
