When someone comes to Joan Stewart, the Publicity Hound, with a publicity
problem, it’s usually because 2 or 3 of these 7 critical elements are missing. You can’t cherry-pick which ones you want to do. You must do them ALL. 

And if you start doing them today, you’ll be kicking some serious butt next
year. Joan Stewart is presenting the ALL DAY BookCamp in Denver in person on November 15th … this is the perfect set up for it … and if you are on
the fence in attending, you will “get” why you … and your book should be there as well. There are Hot Seats in the afternoon–will you be selected?

You will learn:

· The 7 “old school” tactics that don’t work anymore but authors are
   still relying on them.  

· A killer tip that can pull traffic like a magnet to your YouTube channel.   

· A key mistake authors make and why it seldom gets them the kind of major
  publicity they want. 

· The short exercise that will determine how well you know your target    market.  

· 21 questions you should ask to help determine the kind of audience that wants to read your books.

· The truth about press releases.

· The one place to look that will give you material galore for creating content–it’s right in front of you!

· The one thing you must be willing to pay for if you’re not willing to spend time
  looking for it for free

Authors and books love  … love publicity. Are You Getting Your Share?

And, is it the right publicity at the right time? AuthorU’s March Saturday Mornings will be like an onion … each layer will reveal new ahas, tips and the secret sauce to connect with print, radio and TV that could create a tipping point for your and your book.

Led by Rocky Mountain’s PBS Executive Producer and Colorado Matter’s host Cynthia Hessin, get ready to flip what you are doing to propel your publicity forward. Additional members of the Colorado community will be joining Cynthia from print and radio.

  • Does being on and in the media work for a book? For the author … or is it a waste of time?
  • What publicity should you be seeking?
  • How should you pitch “you”?
  • What type of follow is acceptable and what should be avoided?
  • What materials do you need and what are unnecessary?

Our morning session is dedicated for a Panel of local media pros (TV, radio and print). You will connect, get tips and tricks on how to reach out and connect for you and your book. Cynthia Hessin and Susan Gatschet will open your eyes and your ears.
