A writing workshop on writing, publishing, and marketing your book. This workshop will help participants take the ideas they've had in their heads and finally get them down on paper with a strategy to put it into the world.
Agenda
Each stage of book writing is different and writing the book may actually be the easiest stage even if it seems to be the most daunting.
There are several ways to go about getting your book published. The traditional route by securing an agent and finding a traditional publishing house. Or the indie publishing route which can include a myriad of different hosts, sites, distributors, and creative ingenuity.
Once your book is in the world doesn't mean that it will sell well, whether you're published traditionally or self-published. Setting a goal and intention for what you want your book to do, will help you clarify your marketing strategy.
