Writer Workshops at Waterloo Public Library

I'm going to be running a series of weekly workshops in Sept for writers at the Waterloo Public Library. It's part of a virtual series of events.

 

Tues Sept 15 - 7:30 PM - Learning About Publishing Options for Writers

A basic introduction to the various options available for writers, including finding an agent, or publisher, selling/licensing your writing, and leveraging DIY self-publishing options.

Tues Sept 22 - 7:30 PM - Step by Step Digital Publishing

I'm actually going to walk writers through step by step of taking a manuscript in WORD format and using free online resources, tools, and services, to make their work available internationally. I'll be  sharing the multiple options, direct publishing, and distribution platforms available, but will be demonstrating, in detail, the steps using Draft2Digital's awesome free tools.

 

Tues Sept 29 - 7:30 PM - Basic Book Marketing Strategies

Regardless of how a book is published, the most common questions writers have is how to market their work. I'll walk through a number of options, opportunities, tools, and strategies they can use with the goal towards helping get the right book in front of the right ideal audience/reader eyes.
