The Empowered Author 

Book Marketing Workshop

Thursday 14th November, 10am GMT, Virtual meeting room (using Zoom)

If you'd like to get to grips with your book marketing and understand where to put your energy, this 3 hour workshop plus follow-up is for you.

Before the workshop, we will send you a short questionnaire so that we can find out more about your goals and your specific challenges, so that we can make sure to address them during the workshop.

The workshop will:

📚 Explain the basics of book marketing, what is most effective and where you should put your time and energy.

📚 Give you the knowledge and confidence to plan and execute a book marketing plan. 

📚  Give you practical and actionable tips and ideas that you can implement immediately after you leave our session.

📚  Answer the specific questions and challenges you are facing with your marketing.

📚  Bring you together with other authors to learn from one another, share ideas and potentially collaborate in the future.

📚  Help you learn from real-life book marketing campaigns that Katie and Sam have worked on.

📚  Help you find ways that we can support you in practical ways - whether that's introductions to contacts, suppliers or explanation of how certain marketing tools work.
