Self Publishing in Canada

Suzanne D. Anderson

Author-Publisher-Book Coach

Suzanne discovered her writing ability when she attended college as a mature student. She joined the college newspaper as a reporter and spent two years as the editor. She self-published her first book, a military history, in 1997. At the time, she discovered there was little information on how to self-publish in Canada and decided to remedy that by writing Self Publishing in Canada: A complete guide to designing, printing and selling your book, which is based on both personal experience and extensive research.

Suzanne stays on top of current publishing issues so that her readers can benefit from the information as they make their way through the self-publishing maze. Her credentials include:

Eight years as a freelance writer
Six years as editor of HMCS Quadra alumni newsletter
Five years as a regular contributor to a self-publishing co-op newsletter
Publishing courses at Simon Fraser University
Writing courses at Vancouver Island University

Here is what Suzanne does for writers and publishers now:

1. Teaches workshops on Self-publishing, Becoming Published and Writing Non-fiction Books at Vancouver Island University
2. Teaches a Self-publishing workshop at Simon Fraser University
3. Coaches writers who are self-publishing their own books
