Wilson Central School District

Learn how to turn your finished manuscript—memoir, novel, poetry, nonfiction, photography book, or life story—into a professionally published work. This class guides you through the full publishing process, including how to find traditional publishers, explore self-publishing options, format your book, and design a professional cover.

You’ll also learn how to produce printed copies for personal use or distribution, and understand how published authors build visibility and opportunities such as speaking engagements and royalties.

Instructor Preethi Fernando, author of 15 published books and recipient of Stephen King’s Haven Foundation Award, shares practical industry insight from her publishing experience.

This class is ideal for seniors, retirees, working professionals, and lifelong learners interested in the publishing process and bringing their completed work to life.  Please note: this is not a writing instruction class.
