The nuts and bolts of delivering workshops

A constructive way to boost your industry profile and expand your income stream is through delivering professional development opportunities for other creatives. If you’ve got skills or knowledge you’d like to share, a workshop idea you think will appeal, or if you’ve run workshops before but are struggling to find an audience, this one-hour seminar with Laurel Cohn will benefit you.

Laurel will take you through the nuts and bolts of delivering workshops as a contractor, from pitching ideas (and identifying who to pitch to) to contracts, preparation, developing workshop content, and invoicing. She will also explore the differences between presenting in-person and online, sharing expert tips on how to make your workshop successful for participants, organisations, and for you.

You will learn about:

  • Refining and pitching your workshop idea.
  • Liaising with industry organisations, including the EOI process.
  • What to look out for in a workshop contract.
  • Managing your invoicing.
  • Preparing effective materials and workshop notes.
  • Understanding the do’s and don’ts of powerpoint.
  • Mastering tips for in-person and online workshops.
  • Setting yourself up for repeat business and managing a workshop teaching schedule.

There will be time for questions.

  • Authors and illustrators looking to diversify their income stream through presenting workshops.
  • Authors and illustrators who want to share a particular skill or concept with others.
