Choosing an independent publishing course
If you have a clear vision to publish a book but find it difficult to make the time to learn the process by yourself, then an independent publishing course may be just what you need.
A good course will give you step-by-step instructions and practical guidelines, as well as access to helpful resources.
However, with a plethora of courses out there – including a wide range of styles and costs – how do you know which one to choose?
Writing centres in your local state can be an abundant and reliable source of course information and advice. If you prefer an internet search, the following resources may be useful starting points:
- www.udemy.com
- www.lynda.com
- www.australianwritingcentre.com
- Chandler Bolt
- Independent publishing houses often run author days and seminars (for example www.inhousepublishing cialis preisvergleich.com.au)
Before putting cash on the table, do your homework by:
- seeking out their reviews
- signing up for their newsletters and watching their free videos or webinars
- checking that they align with your values and genre.
But, most importantly, remember that a course can only take you so far; the most important thing to do before you sign up is to check that your own commitment is 100%!
