In the organizer's words:

A book idea is in your desk drawer or has already made its way out, perhaps you have already published something. Either way, you may be faced with many questions: How do I find my own literary voice? How do I place my project as effectively as possible with a publisher or literary agency? Can self-publishing be a good path for me? And what happens if there is initial interest? How do I maintain inspiration and creativity when the pressure from outside increases?

Literary and PR agent Annette Brüggemann has been working with international bestselling authors in the field of popular non-fiction for 10 years. Books are her passion and her profession. In a one-day workshop, Annette Brüggemann will guide you through your creative process, answer your questions and meet you where you are right now: From developing an exposé, to acquiring publishers, the first publishing talks and contract negotiations, the manuscript and editing phase, through to PR and marketing surrounding publication.

Participants will not actively write or try their hand at writing exercises, rather Annette Brüggemann will open up a space for creative ideas and their implementation. The workshop is aimed at all interested parties who are thinking about writing a book or have already done so. Beginners to writing will be given a good repertoire right from the start, authors can discover new possibilities and receive inspiring food for thought.
