You’ve done great work–learn how to tell the world about it!
These days, writers increasingly are expected to be their own best publicists, which can be a challenge for those of us introverts who enjoy playing with words in solitude. In this session, you’ll learn how to grow your author platform and publicize your book in smart, efficient, and cost-effective ways that go beyond social media posts and help you stay true to your authentic self. By the end of the class, you’ll feel energized and excited rather than daunted by the prospect of letting the world know who you are and what you create.
