Workshop Title: Creating a Book for Publication

About this event

This workshop explores the practical considerations involved in preparing a manuscript for publication. Led by Mark Jacobs, a retired fellow and editor from Trent University with extensive experience in publishing and academia, the session will address key stages of the publishing journey.

Topics covered include traditional publishing routes, self-publishing platforms, ISBN requirements, printing options, typesetting software, cost management, and marketing strategies. The discussion will examine publishing through established publishers, independent presses, and online retailers. Participants will gain insight into production workflows and financial planning for book projects.

The format allows for group input, enabling participants to raise additional topics relevant to their publishing goals.
