Date: 29 & 30 June (Mon and Tues)
Time: 9am to 5pm
Venue: Possibility Room, National Library (100 Victoria Street)
Fee: $490/person or $390/person for two and above (includes materials and tea breaks)

It’s quite expensive, but it looks like it’s pretty intensive. Over two days, the workshop will cover book writing, book production, getting published, and marketing, promotion and distribution – basically the whole process, really. It looks like it’s focusing on nonfiction, but I think quite a lot of it will carry over to fiction as well.

For more information, download the brochure here (it’s called Book Camp).

You can register for the workshop online at the Book Council’s website, or print the form in the brochure and fax it to them.
