You are an expert in your field and you'd like to publish a book. In this workshop you will learn that books are WAY easier than you think they are. You just need to have the right tools, the right structure, and a bit of know-how.
That's what this 1 day workshop gives you.
You will learn:
- Why books are important for thought leadership
- The tools to use that make your life easy
- How to structure your book
- How to write your book faster than you ever imagined
- Why the look and feel of your book is important
- Why editing is important
- A bit about copyright law
- How to comply with legal deposit requirements
- What ISBNs are, why you need them and how to get them
- Publishing, the LEAN way - no, not buying 5000 copies. Yes, also in ebook format.
- How your book will sell (yes, we're looking at you, Amazon!)
- Some tips for marketing
- A little bit about royalties and taxation.
Whew! Massive, right?
Is this for me?
If you're looking at this, then YES. However, it is pitched for people who are running, who want to run, or who are just starting, a business.
This workshop is not a writing workshop. It is a methodology workshop. If you're hoping to learn how to write, you will be bitterly disappointed. (But let us know you want one, cos we can do that some other time.)
