ONLINE SEMINAR: Evening Appetiser: Producing a Chapbook: From Poems to Publicity
Date:
With:
Jo Weston
Rating:
ALL
Summary:
When Jo started putting her first chapbook together, she had questions: what qualifies as a chapbook? How do I approach a publisher? If it’s selected, what will the publication process be and what should I do to promote the book?
Details
This workshop will take place online. Detailed instructions for participation will be provided.
The answers didn’t seem easy to find – definitely not in one place – and so it was through a mixture of research, trial and error, persistence, and the faith of a publisher that Jo’s debut chapbook 'How not to multitask' was published in May 2021 by Wild Pressed Books.
In this Evening Appetiser, Writers Victoria's Virtual Writer in Residence Jo Weston will share her journey, with the hopes of saving a bit of time and confusion for anyone else about to embark on a similar challenge.
