A guest post by Susan McBeth, Events Coordinator of Adventures by the Book.
The SoCal Author Academy will answer
those questions and much more, as it takes you methodically through the process
of marketing your book and setting up events in Anne
Lamott fashion, Bird by Bird. Designed as a series of intimate
workshops, taught by experts in each subject matter, the SoCal Author
Academy will offer you a cohesive and interactive plan to market your book.
Starting with a brief overview of Everyday Book Marketing, experts will
guide writers from a logical first step thru planning and execution of an
actual author event.
The inaugural workshop on Sunday, September 29, 2013, is
divided into two parts, starting with a
general overview of Everyday Book
Marketing that covers essential book promotion basics, followed by an
interactive workshop that builds upon the morning session and in which, using a
checklist, you will create your own customized marketing plan.
And who better to
teach an Everyday Book Marketing workshop than Midge Raymond.
Midge has been a writer, editor, and teacher for more than twenty years. She
has taught at Boston University, Grub Street, San Diego Writers, and Richard
Hugo House, among others. Midge’s short story collection, Forgetting English,
received the Spokane Prize for Short Fiction. Her award-winning stories have
appeared in numerous literary journals and magazines, including American Literary
Review, Bellingham Review, North American Review, Bellevue
Literary Review, and the Los Angeles Times.
Future workshops will include
websites, social media, author photos, event planning, presentations and
interviewing, press releases, and book trailers. And for those of you who
graduate from the SoCal Author Academy, we will celebrate with you at an author
event that we plan together!
