When it comes to promotion and publicity for authors and books, it’s easy to get lost and confused. Three questions usually pop up with authors around promotion and publicity.

  1. What works and what doesn’t work for today’s author?
  2. What works best for you and your book?
  3. What will it cost?

This workshop surveys book promotion from the 50 foot level, exposing the author to a wide panorama of promotional elements.

You will learn the how and why of these elements in book promotion.

AuthorU Event

  • Blogging
  • Social Networking
  • Media Kits

Writers will get a feel for what they might want to do themselves and what might best be delegated by listening to examples from real campaigns and comparing cost to benefit.

Participants will walk away with a general understanding of modern book promotion and a broad sense of direction for their specific project.

Are you ready to tap into an ADULT craze that doesn’t to appear to have an end in the short-term horizon?

On Wednesday, November 8th, we’re going to show you a brand-new way starting at NOON Mountain time—11AM Pacific and 2 PM Eastern.

Here’s the other great thing you can use this to create:

  • Adult coloring books
  • Children’s coloring books
  • Maze Books
  • Game Books
  • Action Guides
  • Journals
  • Diaries

and much, much more!
