Workshop: Introduction to Self-Publishing



Enterprise Toronto: Women’s Seminar Series: Intro to Self-Publishing

The Enterprise Toronto runs a series of seminars for businessmen and the people just considering opening their own businesses.

On November, 15th 2005 in the City Hall passed a seminar, devoted to opportunities of the independent publishing of a book by the author. Manisha Solomon, Book Publishing Project Coordinator Solotext Editorial, carried out this workshop.

The presented information was very deep and covered the advantages and disadvantages of the self-publishing methodology. All stages of this process from actually writing a book to its sale were described in details.

At the seminar were discussed questions of the copyright, choice of a publishing house, an editor, a graphic designer, opportunities of marketing, ways of promotion of the book on the market and its sales. Manisha had not remained without attention to the potential mistakes, difficulties and threats on a tough journey of a new author.

The gathered audience was not so small, and consisted of people of different ages and from different communities of Toronto interested in self-publishing. It is pleasant to note, that among potential authors and publishers were three Russian-speaking but English-listening representatives.

It was not the last seminar offered to new self-publishing authors and businessmen. It is possible to get acquainted with the program of following seminars on the Enterprise Toronto and the Solotext sites.

Самиздат в Массы

Организация по развитию делового предпринимательства в Торонто “Enterprise Toronto” проводит серию семинаров для предпринимателей и людей, еще только задумывающихся о своем бизнесе.

15 ноября в Сити Холле проходил семинар, посвященный возможностям самостоятельной публикации книги автором. Семинар вела Маниша Соломон (Manisha Solomon) – координатор издательства Солотекст.

Представленная информация была очень конкретной и освещала вопросы достоинств и недостатков самопубликации (self-publishing), подробно рассматривались стадии этого процесса – от собственно написания самой книги до ее продажи.

Обсуждались вопросы авторского права, выбора издательства, редактора, графического дизайна, возможностей маркетинга, способов продвижения книги на рынок и ее продажи. Не остались без внимания и возможные ошибки, трудности и опасности на пути начинающего автора.

Собравшаяся аудитория была не очень велика, но состояла из заинтересованных людей разных возрастов и из разных общин Торонто. Приятно отметить, что среди потенциальных авторов и издателей было трое русскоговорящих, но англо-слушающих представителей.
Это не последний семинар, предлагаемый начинающим авторам и бизнесменам. С программой следующих семинаров можно познакомиться на приведенных сайтах.

Заинтересованность слушателей видна и на фотографиях.

Форум Женщин-Предпринимательниц


Форум Малых Бизнесов Торонто 2005:: Форум Женщин-Предпринимательниц

Women’s Forum - Get Inspiration

Один из наиболее интересных семинаров на Форуме Mалых Бизнесов был организован Канадским объединением женщин-предпринимательниц (Women Entrepreneurs of Canada (WEC))

Это некоммерческая организация, созданная для поддержки женщин-предпринимательниц и ставящая своей задачей помогать таким женщинам на всех стадиях развития их бизнеса. Формы этой помощи различны. Организация обеспечивает возможности связей с другими объединениями, правительственными и международными орнагизациями, представляет женщин-предпринимательниц в государственных и бизнес-сообществах с целью расширить понимание их нужд, запросов и приоритетов, организует семинары и различные программы.
В частности, организация предлагает годичную программу наставников-менторов (Mentoring Program) женщинам, желающим вести и расширять свой бизнес. Программа включает 10-дневную сессию и персонального ментора из числа успешных предпринимательниц, с которыми можно встречаться раз в месяц для разрешения конкретных вопросов. Менторы назначаются из числа основателей, владельцев или директоров бизнесов, успешно функционирующих и развивающихся в течение многих лет. Менторы выбираются из области, близкой к бизнесу протеже, и делятся своим опытом, чтобы помочь протеже успешно развивать их собственных бизнес.

Кроме представителей этой программы, на семинаре выступили женщины-предпринимательницы, впервые в жизни написавшие, напечатавшие и успешно распространившие свои книги. При этом ни одна из них не является профессиональным литератором. Но книги вызвали интерес, так как отвечали на запросы широкой публики.

Автором одной из книг – “Health & Beauty” - является мать троих детей, описавшая свой личный опыт и обобщившая полезный опыт других в поддержании здоровья и красоты женщины. Внешность автора вполне может служить хорошей рекламой своей книге.

В книге “Women Re-Worked” автор описала опыт борьбы с болезнью и возвращения к активной жизни женщин, больных раком.

“Spiritual Journey” посвящена описанию зарубежного путешествия автора в компании с фотографом и кинодокументалистом.

Авторы с юмором поделились своими ошибками - что и как не надо делать и достижениями, представили женщину-издателя Манишу Соломон из Солотекста (Solotext::Book Producing Services for Self-Publishing Authors ) и порекомендовали спонсорскую программу (Charity Foundation).

Для заинтересованных:
15 ноября с 10 до 14 часов в Сити Холле состоится встреча с представителем издательства Солотекст.

Кроме Канадского Объединения Женщин-Предпринимательниц (Women Entrepreneurs of Canada (WEC)), в Канаде и в Онтарио, в частности, существует множество других организаций, чья цель – помощь женщинам в организации и ведении собственного бизнеса, поиске работы и реализации своих прав.

Enterprise Toronto Small Business Forum 2005: Women’s Forum


Women’s Forum - Get Inspiration

Women’s Forum at the Enterprise Toronto Small Business Forum 2005 was presented by a Connection of Women's Network, Support, & Mentoring Groups:

Canadian Association of Women Executives and Entrepreneurs (CAWEE) - Judy Smiley
Mentors in a Home Office - Elizabeth Verwey
Network for Women Entrepreneurs (NWE) - Catherine Goguen
Step Ahead - Jennifer Frank
Women Can Do Anything - Sandra Campbell
Women Entrepreneurs of Canada (WEC) - Lise Christoffersen
Women in a Home Office - Ann Stone
Women's International Network (WIN) - Nikole Belanger
Women in Networking Growing Strong (WINGS) "Mentors In Motion" - Diane McGee
Women with Vision - Lorraine Leslie

One of the most interesting seminars at the Small Business Forum has been organized by the Women Entrepreneurs of Canada (WEC).
The WEC is a not-for-profit organization created to support of women entrepreneurs and to help them at all stages of development of the business. Forms of this help are various. The organization provides opportunities for communication with other associations, the governmental and international organizations, represents women entrepreneurs in the state and business-communities with the purpose to expand understanding of their needs, inquiries and priorities. The WEC organizes seminars and a variety of programs.
In particular, the organization offers the Mentoring Program to the women, wishing to conduct and to expand the businesses. The program includes a 10-day's session and a personal mentor from successful women entrepreneurs. It is possible to meet once a month with the mentor to discuss existing problems. Mentors are appointed from founders, owners or managers of successfully functioning enterprises and developing their achievements for many years. Mentors have businesses close to protégés’ business areas, and they share the experience to help the protégé to successfully develop their own businesses.

At the Authors' Panel (Facilitator: Lorraine Leslie) we met authors and entrepreneurs who have written, printed and successfully distributed books for the first time in their lives, and we got what it takes.

Their advices inspire us to be the authors of our own books!

Therefore none of them is a professional writer but their books have caused a lot of attention from general public.

The author of a book “Health & Beauty”, a mother of three children, described her personal experience and widespread useful knowledge of others in maintenance of health and beauty of the women. The best advertisement of the book is the author’s look.

In the book “Women Reworked” the author has described her experience of struggling against a cancer disease and returning to an active life.
TimeFinders Coaching: Life and Career Coaching for Women in Midlife Women Reworked, by Heather Resnick

Sue Kenney’s “My Camino” is devoted to the narrative of the author overseas’ travel and spiritual journey in the company of a photographer and a documentary film-maker.

Participants have shared their errors and faults with a sense of humour (What and How is not necessary to do) and achievements. They presented a publisher: Solotext.com (Book Producing Services for Self-Publishing Authors and recommended a sponsor's program (Charity Foundation).
