Dr. Eva Pohler has a day job as a professor of writing and English at the University of Texas in San Antonio, but she is also a wildly successful indie writer. She didn't find this success by accident, but after a steep learning curve in generating publicity and readership for her Gatekeeper series of young adult novels.
The Fredericksburg Writers Conference has heard presentations by Dr. Pohler twice in our year plus of existence, and it was clear that her strategies take much longer than an hour to lay out. Because we found such value in her advice for self published writers, we have set up a workshop:
Saturday, June 28th, 2014. (location to be announced)

Creating Brand Awareness
Using Social Media
Soliciting Reviews
Make Amazon Work for You
Form Alliances/Box Lunch
Format Your Book to Sell
1:30 PM: Go home and get to work!
The fee is $60 including lunch.
Texas Tech University Summer Workshops:
Reaching People Through Their
Own Stories is set for 9 a.m.- 5 p.m., July 9 and 10. The workshop will provide attendees
with a wealth of material—fiction, poetry, nonfiction, memoir—that is about a
community both student and teacher actually live in, the issues and concerns
that students see, talk, and wonder about.
How to Get Your Manuscript Published is set for 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., July 23 and 24. The workshop will provide attendees with the knowledge of how to write an author biography, query letter to an agent or publishing house and where to market your writing.
The presenter will be the delightful Christine Granados, author of six books, who was recently inducted into the Texas Institute of Letters. These two-day sessions are $275 each and will earn CE credits. Contact Christine Granados, christine.granados@ttu.edu or (830) 990-2717 for more info.

I will miss Eva's. The second one is of interest if it is appropriate for one beyond "student" years.
