Self-Publishing Workshop

$175.00

A 2-Hour Workshop with Ashley Obscura

A focused workshop for writers who want a clearer understanding of how to publish and begin publicizing their own book.

Designed for authors considering self-publishing, this session offers a practical introduction to the key decisions, platforms, and production steps involved in bringing a book into the world. Rather than piecing everything together from scattered online information, this class is meant to help you better understand the process, avoid common mistakes, and make more informed choices about what path makes the most sense for your project.

We’ll look at the basics of Amazon KDP and Ingram, along with the practical considerations that shape a self-published book behind the scenes: ISBNs, setup, trim sizes, cover design, interior layout, metadata, pricing, distribution, and a few foundational ways to begin thinking about how to publicize your book once it exists.

We’ll explore:
✧ Amazon KDP
✧ Ingram
✧ ISBNs and setup
✧ cover design and interior layout
✧ metadata, pricing, and discoverability
✧ what to do yourself vs. what may be worth outsourcing
✧ common mistakes and practical considerations
✧ how to publicize your book

Includes:
✧ 1 live session
✧ takeaway notes and resources
✧ time for questions and discussion

Format:
✧ online
✧ 2 hours
✧ to be held in July

The final day and time will be set based on participant availability after registration closes.

Cost:
$175 CAD
