Congratulations on publishing your book! It was a long journey but you finally made it. Now that your story is out in the world, what’s the next step? Just sit back and wait for readers to find you? Think again. Now it's time to shift gears. And in order to hit the ground running, you’re going to need a plan. Sure, you know social media is a good place to start but do you know how to use it to attract new readers? Maybe you’ve been to book signings and enjoyed meeting the your favorite authors face-to-face but do you know how to set up your own event? Whether you’ve just published your first book or your fiftieth, there are always new things to learn. Join author Douglas Gardham in this exclusive ALC webinar to discover how to make the most out of your marketing plan and gain new readers, while having fun along the way.
About the Presenter: Douglas Gardham is the author of the STARBook-award novel The Actor, which Canada's Globe and Mail called "a bizarre, David Lynch-like thriller about obsession, delusion, and determination.” His latest book, The Drive In, is a collection of short stories with a twist. He lives near Toronto, Canada, with his wife, dog, and cat.
My question is subject specific. I have written a book on building and racing a wooden catboat called Ghost. It is 26 feet long with a mast reaching 47 feet.
My audience should include people who read sailing magazines and related literature. How can put together a relevant list? The book scouts report the book as excellent, but i am not eager to pay for a high priced pro.
