Wednesday 27 June 2012, 6:30PM - 8:00PM
Now that your book is published, it’s time to enter the spotlight in the quest to sell your book. How much of it is your responsibility and what does it really entail? From interviews, festival circuits, media appearances and publicists, author and illustrator Leigh Hobbs uncovers what to expect and how to keep your expectations realistic.
Leigh Hobbs is an artist and children’s author best known his characters Old Tom, Horrible Harriet, Fiona The Pig, Mr Badger and Mr Chicken. His latest picture book, Mr Chicken Goes to Paris, was shortlisted for the 2010 Prime Minister’s Literary Award as well as the 2010 CBC Picture Book of the Year. Prestigious UK publisher Bloomsbury published four of Leigh’s picture books in 2010.
