As part of Motueka Arts Council programme of winter workshops, Emma Stevens and Ro Cambridge are holding a workshop on self-publishing.

If you love to write, this course is for you. Tutors Emma and Ro will walk you through the steps of publishing your own book. Between them, they have experience in writing, editing, book marketing and promotion. By the end of this workshop you’ll be better prepared to face the challenges of self-publication and more likely to enjoy the benefits (not to mention the thrill!) of transforming your manuscript into a published book.

Emma Stevens is a member of NZ Authors Top of the South branch. She has self-published two volumes of her memoirs about living in bush Alaska: Walking On Ice (2014) and Nesting on the Nushagak (2015).

The workshop takes place on Saturday 11 June, 9 am – 4.30 pm (BYO lunch) at Motueka Community House, Decks Reserve, Wallace Street, and costs $55.00.
