Learn exactly what publishers look for and how to build your platform in a 3 hour session that will include interactive exercises, personal coaching, group discussion and Q&A that will help drastically increase your chances of convincing agents, publishers, and most importantly, readers, that you have what it takes to publish a book. No matter where you are in the process—just toying with a book idea, ready to query agents, or still writing a proposal or manuscript—whether you are beginning to build a platform or just looking to grow yours—this workshop will leave you informed, confident, motivated, and supported. If you can’t stay for all of it, that’s ok!
This workshop will mainly benefit nonfiction writers, but fiction writers can also apply what we learn and ask any publishing question you have! In this session, we will cover:
- The best practices for building your email list
- Tried and true strategies for increasing your social media following
- Creative ways you can begin building your readership right now
- Proven ways to pitch the media successfully
- What sort of resources (especially free ones) or people you’ll need on your team
