"Introduction to Independent Publishing" Online Course
This is the era of authorpreneurship. In addition to working with traditional publishers, aspiring, emerging and established authors now have the choice of independent publishing and taking 100% control of the production, distribution and sales of their intellectual properties, in as many formats and markets as possible.
In this online course, the instructor, Dr Christine Yunn-Yu Sun, will utilise her 10 years of experiences as an independent publisher of digital and print books in English and Chinese languages to explain the nature and significance of independent publishing. The self-paced course consists of six one-hour online sessions, using text-and-image-oriented web pages and YouTube videos, with written assignments and discussions via email.
Participants in this course will gain in-depth knowledge and skills in publishing and distributing their literary works independently and globally, using IngramSpark's digital and print-on-demand services as an example. They will also discuss the challenges and triumphs in building author platforms, working with editors, illustrators, cover designers and even translators, creating multiple digital and print formats, and the tricks of trade in engaging local and global markets.
This course will benefit aspiring, emerging and established authors. For more details, please see the "Introduction to Independent Publishing" Online Course.
"Working with/as a Professional Translator to Explore Global Markets" Online Course
If you cherish and celebrate the Power of Words, then it is important to understand how words are transformed and given new life from one culture to another. Furthermore, as you embark on a journey to explore global markets -- either as an independent publisher or represented by your literary agent or publisher -- it is essential to engage a professional translator who can adequately convey your "voice".
In this online course, the instructor, Dr Christine Yunn-Yu Sun, will utilise her 25 years of experience as a professional translator, as well as 10 years of experience as an independent publisher of digital and print books in English and Chinese languages, to explain the importance of establishing a coherent and courteous working relationship between the author, the translator, and the publisher.
The self-paced course consists of six one-hour online sessions, using text-and-image-oriented web pages and YouTube videos, with written assignments and discussions via email.
Real examples and anecdotes from a wide range of cross-cultural publishing projects are used to illustrate the importance of working with professional translators in order to engage global markets. Participants will have ample opportunity to discuss issues such as market choices, communication and marketing strategies, how to measure success and sustainability, and editing vs censorship.
This course will benefit both traditionally and independently published authors, as well as aspiring and emerging authors and translators. For more details, please see the "Working with/as a Professional Translator to Explore Global Markets" Online Course.
