Getting your book published at Launceston Library

This Children's Book Week, join local children’s authors and illustrators Sally Barns, Sharon Yaxley and Amanda O’Shea for an engaging panel discussion exploring the different pathways to publication.

Whether you’re curious about traditional, hybrid or self-publishing, these experienced authors will share their insights, experiences, and practical advice to help you better understand the publishing landscape.

Whether you’re just starting your writing journey, or ready to take the next step, this is a fantastic opportunity to learn from authors who have successfully navigated the world of children’s publishing.

In partnership with the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
