&lt;p&gt;Congratulations on publishing your book! It&amp;rsquo;s something many aspire to but few accomplish. But now what? How do you connect with your potential readers? Just sit back and see what happens? Maybe, but there&amp;rsquo;s lots more you can do! Whether you&amp;rsquo;ve just published your first book or are a veteran, join author Douglas Gardham in this exclusive ALC webinar and discover what he&amp;#39;s found to be some of the best practices for communicating with readers. From social media strategies to book signings and personal appearances, Doug will&amp;nbsp;cover all parts of his journey in developing a readership!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Douglas Gardham is the bestselling author of The Drive In (a collection of short stories with a twist), the STARBook award novel The Actor and his just published sequel, The Musician. Writing found him as a teenager and never let him go. He&amp;#39;s spent most of his career in engineering and manufacturing but wrote almost everyday. When The Actor was published in 2013 he started to write full-time. The Globe and Mail (Canada&amp;rsquo;s national newspaper) featured him in a front page article in their Globe Arts section calling him &amp;ldquo;the hardest working novelist you&amp;rsquo;ve never heard of&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
