BREAKING INTO PRINT: 
Finding an Audience For Your work

Picture
Do you have a collection of short stories, a novel, a memoir or a family history you are ready to share with others? If so, this workshop is for you. 

It’s designed for writers who want to find a readership or an audience for their work, but are not sure how to go about it.

WENDY SCOTT
Wendy's first love is writing and reading although she also employs her science training in laboratories in N.Z. and Australia for the salt, meat, dairy and wine industries. 

Wendy writes adult fantasy and children’s novels and branching out into romance. 
In 2012 her children’s book “Hieroglyph” was selected for the New Zealand Society of Authors’ Manuscript Assessment Programme and was further selected for one of five mini-mentorships.

She lives in an off-the-grid house on the West Coast with her son and partner. While it was being built she lived in a house truck and wrote on a solar-powered laptop.  

Wendy has been similarly intrepid in developing the know-how required to self-publish and promote her fantasy novels on-line. 

Her approach is down-to-earth and highly practical.

Writers are no longer reliant on traditional methods to publish or sell their work. Developments in computers, e-readers, tablets, smart phones and software now make it possible for authors to publish, market and distribute their own work.
