possibly the future of fiction”.

Workshop Outline
Explore digital publishing options and consider which of them might best suit your writings.
We’ll investigate:
• ebooks (enhanced, illuminated and print on demand)
• multi-platform fictions and alternate reality games
• Blogs, websites and social media
You will look at some basic ways to promote yourself online and to reach your target readership;
check out examples of 'amplified authors' who have proven success in self-branding, online marketing and
communicating with readers.
