No other publicity workshop offers as much individual attention and personal contact
with a range of publishing professionals.
|
|
Bella Stander and top-notch publicists, media trainers and recently published authors provide real-world advice and tips in a lively and intimate forum. Class size is limited, so there is abundant opportunity for in-depth discussion.
Workshop participants receive an original “Book Promotion 101 Handbook” containing a wealth of detailed information -- including a marketing plan worksheet, sample press releases and a tipsheet on planning a book tour.
There is NO HYPE and no "upselling." Our goal is to help authors learn and be successful.
AND THERE'S FOLLOW-UP:
Each full-day workshop attendee gets a half-hour follow-up phone consultation. |
