SUMMER SCHOOL DAY THREE OPTIONS:
Designed to complement the Breaking Into Print Workshop

Option One: 
How To Build Your Own Website

It used to cost thousands of dollars to design and build a website. Then you had to pay someone to manage it and update it for you but not any more.
An website gives you a professional on-line presence as a writer through which you can ;
  • Promote yourself and your writing
  • Engage with your readers
  • Give away sample excerpts
  • Sell your book - as a printed book or an e-book. 

This workshop will show you how to build your own author website - simply and cheaply. 

If you can send an email with a document, or a photo as an attachment, you can build your own professional-looking website simply and cheaply.
TUTOR: Ro Cambridge

Your Self-publishing Project

The opportunity for you to focus exclusively on your own self-publishing project in a one on one consultation.
