Writing Workshop: Reaching More Readers: Strategies for Expanding Your Author Platform

To enhance your standing in the writing/publishing world, a broad author platform is crucial. And this is much more than just social media and your online presence. (You do have that, right?) The key is differentiating yourself in all your marketing efforts and developing a persona that appeals to publishers and readers. Join publisher/editor Weldon Burge as he shares what he looks for in an author's platform and offer advice on how to stand out in such a competitive field. He’ll discuss how to develop an effective website, schedule a book signing, start an email list and newsletter, launch a blog, establish your social media platform, and much more. Questions will be welcome throughout the presentation. 

Presenter Weldon Burge, owner of Smart Rhino Publications, has edited and published eight books.
