In the final workshop of the series, Claire Buss will show you how to:

• Keep momentum going on your published book
• Use of social media and other marketing tools
• Balancing promotion with writing new stories

Claire will also be available for a Q&A session.

The Road to Publishing is a series of six workshops spread over six months that looks at taking your novel from its completion to the published version on your bookshelf. The road itself is long and winding, there are many forks to choose from and these workshops are designed to give you all the information and advice you need to make the best journey for you – whether it be traditionally published or self-published.

Please note there is a supporting Google Classroom for this course and the direct link to join can be found in confirmation email under the Additional information section.

NB: There are no scheduled breaks during the session

If you have any accessibility requirements, please directly get in touch with us at pentoprint@lbbd.gov.uk
