On Tuesday 4th December
Candy Jar Books hosted its first self-publishing workshop. Twenty
participants attended the day, which had sessions on editing, social
marketing, cover design and how to get started as a self-published
author. The course was fully booked and participants came from all
over South Wales to learn about self-publishing from the Candy Jar
team.

The day was a great success, with
participants leaving glowing comments:
“Thank you once again for giving me
the opportunity to attend yesterday's workshop.
It was motivational to hear from other
writers and has certainly given me much to think about.”
Laura Foakes
“By the way, forgot to say a big
'thank you' for putting on the workshop and what you are doing. How kind of you - lunch, opportunity to
have some work read and feedback etc.”
Beverley Lennon
“Thank you so much for putting on
such an interesting and thought provoking workshop yesterday! It was
lovely to meet you all as well. Despite feeling a bit under the
weather with a sore throat I really enjoyed the day, and it's given
me plenty to think about!”
Carly Holmes
As the day was such a success, we hope to run a similar workshop in 2013 – watch this space!
