eBooks (electronic books) – we have all heard about them and they are hugely popular.  Every day people are buying and reading them on their laptops, tablets, Kindles or phones.

Join Peter to learn how you can write and share your passion without being a computer geek or needing special software.  Come away from this class with the confidence to investigate and write your first ebook.

What will we cover?

  • Chapter planning and writing
  • ePublishing
  • Some effective low-budget marketing techniques to get your book read by others

Who will be teaching? 

Peter Parker is a transport nerd, electronics hobbyist and video producer who started writing for magazines while still a teenager. Since 2015 Peter has written four specialist non-fiction ebooks and received a Technical Excellence Award from the Wireless Institute of Australia for videos and ebooks.

Peter started electronic publishing in 1997 when he built his website. Video production followed and you can find him on YouTube.

He spends his spare time tinkering with recycled electronics and amateur radio transmitting from beaches around Melbourne.
