Create your own Oracle!
In this course I share with you everything I have learned in almost two decades of working in the publishing industry. In addition, thanks to connections with international partners and participation to international trade fairs, I can bring you up to date on all the latest trends. Initially intended as a group course, this has become an one-on-one course in a totally organic way. Throughout the course, you will have all my attention and expertise directed toward you and the project you carry in your heart.
.
The first level of this course is structured in two modules of 2 hours each with a 15min interval after the first hour.
The second level on the other hand, will be a group course. During this course you will have the opportunity to share your project and compare notes. There will be several discussion boards and various issues of whatever nature you deal with will be addressed: technical, graphic and design, production, promotional or marketing. It is not mandatory for those who participate to the first level to sign up for the second level, however, in order to participate to the second level you will need to have completed the first level first and show proof that you started developing your oracle.
What to expect from the first level
First of all…
In this course you will learn everything you need to know from the initial concept to the finished product, how to pitch yourself to publishers if you want to be published or how to self-publish. I will explain all the pros and cons of both alternatives.
The starting concept…
We will start from zero, from the idea: how to find it, how to structure and develop it. I will teach you all the creative, artistic and technical aspects: what techniques and options to consider and what mistakes to avoid. We will discuss all the many details such as the type of paper, format and packaging to mention a few.
The key aspect…
I will teach you what elements the oracle and paring guidebook must have and exactly what features publishers look for in the oracles they choose to publish.
Social media and promotion…
I will explain the basics of how to promote yourself on social media and how to come up with content that actually interests you and your audience. How to create content that touches minds and awakens interest without becoming yet another duplicate of which we already see too many versions, all practically identical….
When? Where? How much does it cost?
The cost of the First Level course is only €369! If you consider that I will share all that I have learned in years of work experience and it will serve you, above all, to avoid mistakes that I have already made and that you would most certainly make if you were to learn and understand as you go along, it truly is a huge bargain! Check the available weekends in the calendar provided here and proceed with payment to reserve your spot. The course will take place on Google Meet. You will receive a link in time by email.
The cost of the second level is €270. In order to participate in this course, you must have completed the first level and send an e-mail with a brief summary of your work and graphic materials or prototypes as proof that you have begun to develop your oracle.
What they say about this course
“I found this course very useful and well structured. I was taken step by step to develop the project I have always held in my heart: creating my own oracle…
In addition to valuable information on design insights, I also received guidance regarding layout, packaging, production and promotion (aspects that are often underestimated but of vital importance).
