Fredericksburg Writers Conference WorkshopNo one noticed! You have an awesome book or idea or business, and NO ONE KNOWS! You're on Facebook, you've put an ad in the paper, you've sent an email to all your contacts, and you have 1 sale (your mother?) If you have a book to promote or a business or an idea, but not a lot of money, this workshop is designed for you.
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. Writing a great book is just the beginning; getting readers is a bigger challenge.
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. Holy Ghost Lutheran Church Fellowship Hall (across from courthouse)
8:30 AM: Register/Coffee and Pastries/Introductions
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. This is our first attempt at a project like this, so we don't know what we are doing, but if anything, this is underpriced and it will be worth your time.
