Get your book published!
with Dave Haslett

Dave Haslett from ideas4writers will be running a "Get Your Book Published!" workshop in Exeter, Devon on Saturday 28th June 2008. You are very welcome to attend but we're limiting the number of places to 8 so you'll need to book early. If the event is heavily over-subscribed we'll run it again at a later date.


Workshop details

Thinking of writing a book? Partway through writing one? Finished it but keep getting rejected? Wondering whether self-publishing is right for you? This workshop takes you through all the options (mainstream, independent, and self-publishing) and looks at which would be the best fit for you and your book.

You will learn:

  • how to find and approach mainstream and independent publishers that are suitable for you and your book

  • what you need to send and what you should (and shouldn't) say

  • how to write query letters, proposals and synopses that get results - you will actually write yours during the workshop under Dave's guidance

  • how to decide whether you need an agent, and how to get one if you do

  • exactly what publishers and agents are looking for

  • all about multi-book publishing deals

  • how to write a book marketing plan

  • how to guarantee that your book gets accepted, and what happens afterwards

  • how to publish your book yourself without it costing you a fortune - or find someone who will do it for you without ripping you off

  • how to sell lots of copies

This workshop consists of a series of talks, group discussions, and individual and group exercises. You will leave the workshop with all the materials you need to make a successful approach to publishers and agents, a detailed marketing plan, and a list of carefully targeted publishers, agents, self-publishing companies, printers, marketing companies and PR specialists - whatever is right for you and your book.

Each person will also get a private 15-minute one-to-one session with Dave.

Venue: Farringdon Village Hall, near Exeter, Devon
Date: Saturday 28th June 2008, 10.30 am – 4.30 pm
Cost: £25 (refreshments included, but please bring a packed lunch)
