Welcome to the March issue of Books+Publishing’s monthly Independent Publishing newsletter.
This month I had the pleasure of speaking with author and artist Terry Whidborne, who self-published his illustrated title Tasmanian Faeries in October last year. Tasmanian Faeries is a gorgeous book and has been selling particularly well in bookshops in Tasmania, so I wanted to pick Terry’s brain on how he went about publishing his book, and his advice for other authors and illustrators. Hopefully you find it inspiring as a demonstration of the type of high-concept book that is able to be produced independently.
Also this month is an extract from an important new book from the Australian Society of Authors, the ASA’s Guide to Getting Published. The book is pitched as a guide to all authors and illustrators trying to make sense of the publishing industry, and they have shared a section with us to give a sense of the type of advice it covers.
Happy reading (and writing)!
