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.
