WORKSHOPS
E-PUBLISHING
 Want to have others read your book? The world of E-publishing can be a mystery to many of us. What is it, where do you start, and how do you find out the latest developments? Felicity Price has published both hard copy books and e-books and understands the mechanics of getting published. She will talk about the features of a digital book, the importance of page layout, design, content and covers.
Jenny Howarth, Christchurch publisher, will  offer advice – once you have the book, how do you publish it?
There are computers available in The Learning Centre at the library for everyone.  Bring your own content on a USB stick, or access it online, and get objective, helpful  advice to bring your project towards completition.
Saturday 4 May, 1 – 4pm , $30
South Christchurch Library, Colombo St
