Dr Book Promo: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Internet
The publishing world has changed. Authors are being asked to do more promotion for their books than ever before. Yet most writers are more introvert than self-promoter. Readings and signings can accomplish only so much. To promote your book, you must take the leap of faith into the Mother of All Black Holes–the Internet.
Students in this workshop will learn the basic stages of book promotion and develop a first draft of a marketing plan for their book. They will look at possible objectives a writer might have for various promotional activities. They will be exposed to, and interact with, many of the resources available to writers. Promotion plans can be developed for all budgets. Many resources are free; many are reasonable; some are costly. The workshop will consider all three types.
