Carolyn Howard-Johnson#1 Secrets. Write Sparkling Dialogue in 10 Easy Steps. A Beginner's Guide
In one hour only a writer of fiction or nonfiction will learn why they should use dialogue and gain confidence that dialogue markers of the inexperienced writer will not tattle on them. In spite of the fact that many published writers have not mastered this technique, it's still easier than you think! Upon request a useful handout reference with reading recommendations will be provided to participants.
October 10 at 11am pacific time.#2 Savvy Marketing for Authors: It's Never Too Late--or Early--to Hone Your Promotion Skills
You can begin to construct the framework for your book's success--fiction or nonfiction--long before it is published and continue to build on your knowledge for promotion after your book's release. The publishing industry has changed significantly in the last decades and many authors' expectations of what their publishers/publicist can or will do is inflated. This seminar helps you with the basics like building a media kit and a mailing list. Electronic handouts for participants include excerpts from THE FRUGAL BOOK PROMOTER HOW TO DO WHAT YOUR PUBLISHER WON'T, a sample media kit, press release and resources for penny-pinching exposure on the web and elsewhere.
