About this Event
The children's book industry is shrouded in mystique, with limited opportunities for learning about how the industry operates. How can book creators be successful in an industry they don't understand? This two-part course is designed to pull back the curtain and help you understand the inner workings of the industry and how to be more successful within it. Course leader Stephanie Seales is an author and children's book expert with over 15 years experience in many parts of the children's publishing industry. Drawing on her extensive experience, the course will cover everything from agents to indie bookstores to libraries to publishing houses and more. Participants will leave with a better understanding of the industry that will better equip them to be more successful within it. Join this course to get answers to your burning questions and inspiration for moving forward on your author journey. Those from marginalized communities are especially encouraged to attend, but the course is open to all. This course will operate from an equity & justice-based framework.
