Marketing for authors webinar – 30 August

Author  Cathy Park Kelly  opted for a 50/50 venture with her indie publisher Karavan Press for her memoir  Boiling a Frog Slowly  because she knew she was going to work hard on promotion even though they offered her a traditional publishing deal with royalties. They shared all the production expenses and halved the income from sales. Eighteen months later, they’ve each made a profit.

She’s now devised a coaching course to help authors ‘Shift from Storytellers to Story Sellers’.

Tony Park  is the author of twenty-one novels set in Africa and ten non fiction biographies. His latest novel, Vendetta , was released in July 2023.

Tony’s publishing experience spans both the traditional and self-publishing routes. His books are published traditionally in South Africa through Pan Macmillan, but he retained the rights for the rest of the world and has self-published in Australia, the US and the UK.

Former editor, bibliophile, storyteller and literacy & literature advocate Nkanyezi Tshabalala is the head of communications at  Pan Macmillan South Africa .
