[讲座] 如何出版作品──新锐写作者必须了解的事项

概要

如今，出版的机会远不限于书籍。许多作家从在文学期刊、在线杂志或选集上发表作品开始，再迈向书籍的出版。但该如何选择适合自己的道路，又如何开启这一旅程呢？

在本讲座中，一位资深作家或出版人将带领参与者了解作品出版的核心要点：从向期刊投稿、探索文学奖项与小型出版社的机会，到最终与经纪人和出版社合作的整个过程。参与者将学习实用技巧、行业洞察，并清晰了解如何将自己的作品分享给读者。

本讲座将分别以华语、英语、马来语和泰米尔语进行，确保不同背景的写作者都能在自己创作的语言中获取专业指导。

Synopsis

Publishing opportunities today go far beyond books. Many writers begin by placing their work in literary journals, online magazines, or anthologies before moving on to full-length publications. But how do you know which path is right for you—and how do you get started?

In this session, an experienced writer or publisher will guide participants through the essentials of getting their work published: from submitting to journals, exploring competitions and small presses, to eventually working with agents and publishers. Participants will gain practical tips, industry insights, and a clear understanding of how to share their writing with the world.

This session will be conducted separately in Chinese, English, Malay, and Tamil, ensuring that writers of all backgrounds can access guidance in the language they write in.
