Educational Objectives:

After completing this workshop in its entirety, you will be able to:

  • Outline strategies for generating and narrowing a book topic idea and positioning it for success even before writing begins.
  • Evaluate the writing process and identify ways to overcome internal obstacles and avoid getting stuck.
  • Discuss the different publishing paths and the fundamentals of book marketing that apply to both traditionally and independently published authors.
  • Assess ethical considerations and common pitfalls in using generative AI for idea development, drafting, and promotion, and apply best-practice guidelines for responsible integration.

Workshop Description:

Having a published book can serve as a powerful calling card and position you as an expert in your field. Many mental health practitioners have an idea – or several – for a manuscript but don’t know how to get started. Or perhaps they have a draft but don’t know what to do with it or how to navigate the twists and turns of the publishing world. In this workshop, traditionally and independently published (aka, “hybrid”) author Anne Bartolucci, Ph.D., D.B.S.M., will share her extensive knowledge of the writing process and publishing options to help you make good choices from the beginning and come out with the best book and publishing experience possible.

Presented by: Anne Bartolucci, Ph.D., D.B.S.M.
