Every aspiring (or published) writer needs to self-promote these days. And the increase in multimedia avenues has introduced a slew of new ways to get the word out about your book or yourself as a book author. I’ve come across this interesting-sounding teleseminar series, hosted by the website Write and Publish Your Book, that will help explain how you can create a podcast or a blog to promote your book. Whether you’re a published or unpublished author, it’s never too early to create a marketing platform that will increase your appeal to potential literary agents and book publishers.
If you don’t know what a podcast is, or how to create and use one to market yourself as an author or to promote your book, this sounds like a great way to get a handle on the basics. Remember, whether you write fiction or nonfiction: every publisher wants authors with platforms.
The first call is on October 25 at 9:00 p.m. If you’re interested, go to their website and search for “teleseminar”:
