Learn creative and inexpensive ways to promote your collection of poetry.
This workshop will provide ideas and suggestions for promoting your new collection of poetry. Courtney LeBlanc is the author of four full length collections of poetry and for her 3rd collection she went on a self-organized book tour that encompassed 9 months, 18 states, and 64 readings. Not only is this an impressive feat, but she *made money* on her book tour! She’ll share her tips and tricks for promoting your work without feeling icky doing it.
