Book Signing at Barnes & Noble
Friends:
I am conducting a free webinar on the children’s book publishing business on Wednesday, September 15, 2010. It’s called “From Imagination to Publication: The Journey of a Children’s Book Author.” It’s sponsored by Sarah Cook of Raising CEO Kids. You can register for the webinar here: http://www.raisingceokids.com.
What can you expect in this 1 hour free webinar? Complete with a slide show and resource links, I will talk about how children’s book publishing works, from the time you hatch an idea to submitting a manuscript to receiving a contract and finally, to marketing the published book. It’s a process and one that many people ask me about time and time again. Be prepared to take a lot of notes and ask questions!
I will say this: Writing for children is a sacred craft. Once your work is out there, it is out there forever so you want to be sure that you are giving them timeless material. Give them your very best. Write books that will make them think, laugh and learn (internally and externally). Please note that this webinar is not about HOW to write a children’s book. This webinar assumes that you have publication-ready material and that you are ready to find a publisher. A quick Google search will yield tremendous results on HOW to write a children’s book (that’s a whole ‘nother webinar!).

So what makes me the “expert?” Well, you can read all about me on my website at http://www.storyconnection.net. Suffice to say, I spent many years learning HOW TO before I actually became a published author. My first book came out in 2005 and here in 2010, I have 12 books (a combination of both children’s and educational books). I conduct seminars around the world, attend major education and library conferences,and do tons of author school visits. And… THIS is my full time job!
I hope you’ll join me and Sarah on this free webinar. It’s time for YOU to start living YOUR dreams! And I leave you with my life’s mantra:
“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams… Live the life you have imagined.” – Henry David Thoreau
Until next time…
Warmly, Dianne
