Our last meeting before the FEW summer break will feature a panel of three from the publishing world.
Cindy Mullins will address how to get a book published in Japan. Cindy will explain the book publishing process, how to woo agents and publishers by writing a killer book proposal that will grab their attention. She will also talk about ‘Priorities, Passion, and Publishing: The Secret Formula for Creating a Best-selling Book or Successful Career’.
Hugh Ashton will tell us about independent publishing. He will concentrate on the process of self-publishing via the online PoD service route, rather than the ‘print it yourself and get a crate of sliced dead trees’ approach. Kathleen Morikawa covers this approach excellently in her book, ‘Self Publishing in Japan: What You Need to Get Started’:http://tinyurl.com/qxc721
Miki Noguchi will discuss freelance writing in Tokyo: how to get articles published in magazines, print or online. She will explain how you’ve gotta hustle because it’s all about making contacts.
