ONLINE
In this 3-hour online seminar, writer Demi Anter and self-publishing expert Ceri Savage of Savage Edits share their collective publishing experience, covering traditional pathways and self-publishing for poets, writers of literary fiction, genre fiction, and more.
Demi and Ceri will share lessons learned from their publishing careers: Demi's debut poetry collection, Small Machine, came out in April 2022 with Write Bloody UK, and was shortlisted for the Poetry Book Awards after a successful international tour. With her company Savage Edits, Ceri guides authors through every step of the self-publishing process.

What will I learn?
Attendees can expect practical advice and tools, and answers to questions like: "How do I decide between traditional and self-publishing routes for my book?" "How do I find the right publisher for me?" and "How much can writers earn from various modes of publishing?"
Who is the workshop for?
This seminar is recommended for authors with yet-to-be-published manuscripts and for early-career writers seeking guidance as they plan toward a book-length work.
