Do you write for children and want to increase your income by acquiring contracts and assignments from educational book publishers and book packagers?
Then this upcoming LIVE workshop/teleclass is for you!
About the Workshop/Teleclass
Writing for educational book publishers and book packagers can be financially lucrative and a great source of ongoing work for freelancers. These markets are expanding in today’s world of Common Core Standards and the subsequent emphasis on quality supplemental classroom nonfiction materials. But this type of work is not for everyone, and breaking into educational publishing is somewhat different than publishing trade books. In this workshop/teleclass I will present information on what educational book publishers and book packagers are, how to evaluate whether or not this type of publishing is for you, and what is involved in breaking into/writing for these markets.
In this workshop you will learn and discover:
• What educational publishers and book packagers are and how they differ
• How to evaluate whether or not this type of work is right for you
• Trends in educational publishing, with tips and information from educational book publishers and book packaging company insiders
• How to find educational book publishers and book packagers that work with freelancers
• How to put together a pitch/query/resume to use in seeking this type of book assignments
• What the advantages are of working for educational book publishers and packagers
• Answers to your questions about educational book publishing and book packagers
