“Would I Do It Again?” The Journey to Self-Publishing A Children’s Picture Book

Instructors: Jessica Dimuzio

Learn about one author’s journey from moment of conception through the pivotal points that led her to become writer, illustrator, publisher, publicist, salesperson, and speaker of an international award-winning children’s picture book. Through discussion of lessons acquired and workshop exercises, Jessica Dimuzio will help you determine whether self-publishing is for you. And find out: “Would she do it again?”

She has conducted research on elephants, rhinos, and wild baboons and taught conservation programs in Africa, Asia, and North America.
