Dear Writer,

You have a book -or an idea for a book- that you know deserves a spot on bookshelves and in libraries around the world. But will publishers, booksellers, readers and sales people feel the same way?

With over 2 million books published worldwide every year, writing is one of the most competitive fields in existence. To break through with your story, you need to understand what professionals in this space are actively looking for, and present your message in a way that is designed for maximum appeal.

In Write to Publish, you'll learn directly from experienced book publishers and editors on how to bring your manuscript to a commercial standard. You'll understand what's really important for publishing professionals, and get clarity on what you need to do to maximize your chances of success.

This isn't about how to change your message or compromise on your values. Instead, it's about how you can articulate your story and ideas in the most powerful way to resonate with readers and those who actually stock bookshelves and gatekeep for this industry.

With practical lessons designed to be easy to apply no matter your genre or stage of progress, you'll end this program with a strong understanding of what a manuscript with real potential actually looks like, and the steps you need to take to get yours there.

Exisle Publishing was founded in the early 1990s with the mission of giving a voice to writers whom the mainstream often overlooked. Ironically, we've since become something of a mainstream publisher ourselves, with branches in Australia, New Zealand, the United States and United Kingdom, and a successful children's imprint, EK Books.

Despite our global success, we haven't forgotten our roots and our mission. With Exisle Academy we want to guide people who have a message to share, but may not yet have the knowledge, experience and industry contacts to make their book the success it deserves to be.

Isabelle Duff joined Exisle Academy because she had a story to tell, but needed help finding her voice and connecting her story to her audience. Exisle Academy helped Isabelle connect with the core of her message and express her story authentically. Using our network, we were able to introduce her to an illustrator who could bring the images in her mind to life.

After developing the manuscript with Exisle Academy, Isabelle was offered a traditional, royalty-based publishing contract with EK Books. Cookie sold-out its first print run and is already being reprinted. It is currently on bookshelves in schools and libraries across the world.
