You can use both sides of the three sheets of paper – this way you will have 6 sides – but not more than three A4 sheets in total.</p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Make sure you use paper of a good quality. Images or type should not shine through.</p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Prepare yourself to do your whole pitch in less than 15 minutes. So make a list of information that you need/want to communicate to the publishers – do not waste precious time being chatty.</p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">When showing and discussing your presentation, allow the publisher to give your work quality time and attention, rather than having to rush through a mass of work that cannot be appreciated in your allocated 15 minutes.</p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">If you are pitching your work on a laptop computer make sure that you are comfortable doing it this way. Prepare a special, easily accessible folder with ONLY the work you want to show… It leaves a bad impression if you start searching for your files – and you lose valuable time.</p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Writers - Prepare a synopsis of your story(ies) with an extract of your manuscript to leave with the publishers. Rather try and get their permission to mail your complete manuscript to them or somebody else at their company. Remember, the person you see will be receiving a lot of material on that day. By mailing your manuscript(s) later (on paper or CD – ask them what they prefer) you will separate your work from the pile. When mailing your manuscript remember to inform the publisher in your covering letter whether you are sending your manuscript to any other publishers.</p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Illustrators - Prepare your portfolio of original illustrations (the one you will show to all the publishers and then take home with you) in such a way that it can be handled easily: preferably in an A3 or A4 folder that can be paged through. Rather select only a few of your best works than lots of examples with poor quality work amongst them. If your portfolio consists mostly of reproductions of your work (i.e. in published form) bring at least two original illustrations along as well. If you want to show copies of work that is currently at a publisher, make sure that those copies are of very high quality. Do not take too many examples of illustrations (10 is a good number). </p> <p style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"></p><blockquote style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">IMPORTANT: This is an opportunity for you to introduce yourself and to present your work to the publishers. You must not expect any feedback, comments or analysis of your work at this session – it will be the publishers’ sole decision whether they would like to make any further contact with any of the writers and illustrators they had seen at the day’s sessions.</span><br /><br /></blockquote><p style="font-family: arial;"></p> <p style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">Show & Tell Day Schedule for each Publisher</span></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">09h00 – 09h30 -

As soon as the publishers have confirmed their attendance (end January) we will be able to let you know how many publishers you will be able to see during the day.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:78%;">You must bring along a number of copies (the exact number to be made known as soon as the attending publishers have all confirmed – early January) of a set of three A4 pages consisting of your Personal Details Form (to be supplied) and two pages with examples of your work. You will hand one set to each publisher you meet with and a set will be given to each publisher you were unable to see due to the limited number of slots.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:78%;">As soon as the list of participating publishers is circulated, you must send us a list of your preferences as to which specific publishers you would like to meet. Number your list of publishers from 1 to 10 in order of preference. We will then draw up a schedule on a first-come-first-served basis, filling up each publisher’s slots. We will e-mail you the completed schedule (grid) one week before the event.</span></li></ul> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style=""> </span></span></p> <p style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">Tips for Writers and Illustrators about pitching your work:</span></p> <ul style="font-family:verdana;"><li><span style="font-size:78%;">Make sure that the two pages with examples of your work have your name on and use a paper clip to keep the 3 pages together (DO NOT STAPLE & DON’T USE FANCY FOLDERS – this makes it difficult for the publishers to file you material). You can use both sides of the three sheets of paper – this way you will have 6 sides – but not more than three A4 sheets in total.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:78%;">Make sure you use paper of a good quality. Images or type should not shine through.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:78%;">Prepare yourself to do your whole pitch in less than 15 minutes. So make a list of information that you need/want to communicate to the publishers – do not waste precious time being chatty.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:78%;">When showing and discussing your presentation, allow the publisher to give your work quality time and attention, rather than having to rush through a mass of work that cannot be appreciated in your allocated 15 minutes.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:78%;">If you are pitching your work on a laptop computer make sure that you are comfortable doing it this way. Prepare a special, easily accessible folder with ONLY the work you want to show… <span style=""> </span>It leaves a bad impression if you start searching for your files – and you lose valuable time.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:78%;">Writers - Prepare a synopsis of your story(ies) with an extract of your manuscript to leave with the publishers. Rather try and get their permission to mail your complete manuscript to them or somebody else at their company. Remember, the person you see will be receiving a lot of material on that day. By mailing your manuscript(s) later (on paper or CD – ask them what they prefer) you will separate your work from the pile. When mailing your manuscript remember to inform the publisher in your covering letter whether you are sending your manuscript to any other publishers.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:78%;">Illustrators - Prepare your portfolio of original illustrations (the one you will show to all the publishers and then take home with you) in such a way that it can be handled easily: preferably in an A3 or A4 folder that can be paged through. Rather select only a few of your best works than lots of examples with poor quality work amongst them. If your portfolio consists mostly of reproductions of your work (i.e. in published form) bring at least two original illustrations along as well. If you want to show copies of work that is currently at a publisher, make sure that those copies are of very high quality. Do not take too many examples of illustrations (10 is a good number). </span></li><li><span style="font-size:78%;">IMPORTANT: This is an opportunity for you to introduce yourself and to present your work to the publishers. You must not expect any feedback, comments or analysis of your work at this session – it will be the publishers’ sole decision whether they would like to make any further contact with any of the writers and illustrators they had seen at the day’s sessions.</span></li></ul> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p

You can use both sides of the three sheets of paper – this way you will have 6 sides – but not more than three A4 sheets in total.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:78%;">Make sure you use paper of a good quality. Images or type should not shine through.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:78%;">Prepare yourself to do your whole pitch in less than 15 minutes. So make a list of information that you need/want to communicate to the publishers – do not waste precious time being chatty.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:78%;">When showing and discussing your presentation, allow the publisher to give your work quality time and attention, rather than having to rush through a mass of work that cannot be appreciated in your allocated 15 minutes.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:78%;">If you are pitching your work on a laptop computer make sure that you are comfortable doing it this way. Prepare a special, easily accessible folder with ONLY the work you want to show… <span style=""> </span>It leaves a bad impression if you start searching for your files – and you lose valuable time.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:78%;">Writers - Prepare a synopsis of your story(ies) with an extract of your manuscript to leave with the publishers. Rather try and get their permission to mail your complete manuscript to them or somebody else at their company. Remember, the person you see will be receiving a lot of material on that day. By mailing your manuscript(s) later (on paper or CD – ask them what they prefer) you will separate your work from the pile. When mailing your manuscript remember to inform the publisher in your covering letter whether you are sending your manuscript to any other publishers.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:78%;">Illustrators - Prepare your portfolio of original illustrations (the one you will show to all the publishers and then take home with you) in such a way that it can be handled easily: preferably in an A3 or A4 folder that can be paged through. Rather select only a few of your best works than lots of examples with poor quality work amongst them. If your portfolio consists mostly of reproductions of your work (i.e. in published form) bring at least two original illustrations along as well. If you want to show copies of work that is currently at a publisher, make sure that those copies are of very high quality. Do not take too many examples of illustrations (10 is a good number). </span></li><li><span style="font-size:78%;">IMPORTANT: This is an opportunity for you to introduce yourself and to present your work to the publishers. You must not expect any feedback, comments or analysis of your work at this session – it will be the publishers’ sole decision whether they would like to make any further contact with any of the writers and illustrators they had seen at the day’s sessions.</span></li></ul> <p style="font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">Show & Tell Day Schedule for each Publisher</span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;" face="verdana" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <ul style="font-family: verdana;"><li><span style="font-size:85%;">09h00 – 09h30 - Registration </span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">09h30 – 09h45 – Slot 1</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">09h45 – 10h00 – Slot 2</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">10h00 – 10h15 - Slot 3</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">10h15 – 10h30 - BODY BREAK </span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">10h30 – 10h45 – Slot 4</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">10h45 – 11h00 – Slot 5</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">11h00 – 11h15 – Slot 6</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">11h15 – 11h45 - COFFEE/TEA BREAK</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">11h45 – 12h00 – Slot 7</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">12h00 – 12h15 – Slot 8</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">12h15 – 12h30 – Slot 9</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">12h30 – 12h45 – Slot 10</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">12h45 – 13h00 – Slot 11</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">13h00 – 14h00 – LUNCH BREAK </span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">14h00 – 14h15 – Slot 12</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">14h15 – 14h30 – Slot 13</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">14h30 – 14h45 – Slot 14</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">14h45 – 15h00 – Slot 15</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">15h00 – 15h15 - COFFEE/TEA BREAK </span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">15h15 - 15h30 – Slot 16</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">15h30 – 15h45 – Slot 17</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">15h45 – 16h00 – Slot 18</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">16h15 – 16h30 – Slot 19</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">16h30 – 16h45 – BODY BREAK </span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">16h45 – 17h00 – Slot 20</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">17h00 – 17h15 – Slot 21</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">17h15 – 17h30 – Contingency slot</span></li></ul> <p style="font-family: verdana;" face="verdana" class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">END</span><br /></span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711868600967665824.post-28307286041072424562008-08-22T22:32:00.004+02:002008-08-22T22:41:00.388+02:00Notes on traslating and illustrating Nina and Little DuckA few notes about translating <a style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" href="http://marjorie-books.blogspot.com/">Nina and little Duck</a> [2008 MER award - winning book], the translator Dr Johann van Heerden gave the members of IBBY South Africa at their annual general meeting in Cape Town.

Each attendee will be scheduled to have a one on one review session in which they will get feedback and advice as to what direction they should take with their work and how to get publishers to actually look at their work. Our country is a beautiful and exciting destination and the Spa is situated in a particularly magnificent, mountainous part of our country. The talks, reviews and workshops will be scheduled in such a way that writers, illustrators and our guests will have time to float in the warm spring water, socialize and to dream... to charge their batteries and even become a bit healthier!<br />The arrangements and costing are still at the planning stages. As soon as we have finalised the figures and a more detailed programme has been drawn up, we will post these on our blog.<br />More about the Goudini SPA/Resort/Conference Venue see their website <a href="http://www.goudinispa.co.za/">http://www.goudinispa.co.za/</a></p>---------------------------------------------<br /><br /><strong><span style="COLOR: rgb(255,102,0)">Cape Town Book Fair, South Africa.
