What: Literary Publicist Julie Schoerke gives the inside tricks to book marketing that all writers need to be knowledgeable about before jumping in—and also the pitfalls to avoid.
Topics will include:
* Congratulations on your book contract! I wouldn't spend the advance quite yet...here's why...
* Isn't it enough that I've spent years writing the book? Now my editor wants me to be a partner in selling it - ugh! What's my responsibility to the book I've birthed?
* Yikes! How can my book be old the day after its publication date?
* Facebook, Twitter, book trailers, virtual book tours...yes, do it all...and more!
* Was November, 2008 really that bad for the publishing industry? There was some good news!
* Do I need a publicist? Maybe, but maybe not
* Kindle...friend or foe of the author?
