Knowledge is Power: Tips and Tricks After You've Been Published

Jan 09, 2027

Online event

You’re a published author. Congrats! You’ve worked so hard to get here. You’ve built a killer website and social media presence, set up a book launch, printed bookmarks and swag, and know all about visiting schools. But what about the stuff they don’t tell you? Josh Funk, a veteran picture book author, has published over 20 books in the last decade plus and he’s here to share the knowledge he’s learned along the way, such as: - Things that slip through the cracks at publishers that we authors and illustrators now need to handle. - How do you get to present at education conferences like ALA and NCTE? - What’s the deal with state book lists? - What about book festivals? - What’s a “Press Kit”? - Best practices for connecting with bookstores. - And several more tips and tricks... Plus Q&A on all of the above (including the stuff they do tell you). This workshop is geared toward both published creators as well as people who plan to be published in the future. *Scroll down to read Josh's Bio **Recording can be viewed for 30 days after program.
