How to Publish a Book (Author Visit)

This presentation, 'How to Publish a Book' provides students with real life examples on how I publish my own books and the process of working with other authors. I share images of what the process looks like, how long parts of the process take and an overview of what is technically required to publish.

This session is inspiring, engaging, informative and practical.

Presentation agenda:
NB: Length of talk adjusted for the age and stage of students.

• Introduction of my career background
• Current books
• Why did I write a book?
• How long did it take?
• Ways of illustrating a book
• What features need to be included on the cover design?
• How do pages come together?

Every participant receives:

• Resource provided: The Book Publishing Process (Printable)
• Bookmark with the publishing process on one side.
