10-12 Gillian Rogerson (Self-publishing
workshop)
Learn about
the self-publishing business from the things you should do before you publish
your book to the most effective ways to market your published book. The
talk will include ways to work out where to place your book in the Amazon
marketplace, and how your book cover should look depending on your chosen
genre. Details of useful software will be given, including one that allows you
to 'spy' on your competition and see how many books they are selling each day,
and how much they are earning.

giving up her day job and becoming a full-time author.

work, and regularly contributes to the pages of the official Doctor Who Magazine and its sister

A Firm Of Poets tend to catch people
out. They perform spoken word - sometimes for as long as an hour at a time -
and people who thought that they instinctively disliked poetry, actually end up
enjoying it.
Last year's 22-date national tour,
'Ossett Observer presents: The People's Republic of Poetry', saw The Firm
establish themselves as a nationally recognised spoken word organisation.
Festival highlights include the likes of Latitude, Musicport and Beacons, and
guest poets have included Luke Wright, Zena Edwards and Helen Mort.
Sitting in a row of chairs on stage,
they step up to the mic to deliver one poem each at a time; making for a
quick-fire, engaging and unpredictable set, which perfectly captures their
accessible and entertaining style.
All aspects of spoken word performance
inevitably surface at some stage, and even the most hardened of poetry cynics
are left with something to cling to.
"This is proper, visceral
stuff. Poetry for the rest of us. Long
live The Firm" Luke Wright
"A Firm Of Poets are killing it
right now!" Mark Grist
"This is f***ing brilliant. And I
don't do flattery" Mike Garry
"F***ing genius" John Cooper
Clarke
