Register now for our October seminar, brought to you by the Washington Writers Conference!
Due to the overwhelming popularity of our annual Washington Writers Conference, the Independent is pleased to announce an upcoming mini-session in October.
Publicize Your Book Like a Pro! “Indie” authors and the traditionally published alike do almost all of their own publicity. So how do you get your book noticed? What works? What should be done pre- and post-publication? What’s a “virtual book tour”? You’ll learn all this and more, plus leave with a list of great ideas — the start of a personalized publicity plan!
Writer, former ASJA president, and ghostwriter Salley Shannon will outline the basics of a pre- and post-publication plan, defining your target audience and what goes in a book-launch press kit. Other presenters include author and local radio personality Monica Bhide, a master of social media and author of Karma and the Art of Butter Chicken; Danielle Tate, an entrepreneur who scored a review in Forbes of her self-published Elegant Entrepreneur; thriller writer Austin S. Camacho, owner of Intrigue Publishing LLC and author of Successfully Marketing Your Novel in the 21st Century; and journalist Alicia Shepard, former ombudsman at NPR.

Where: Carderock Springs Swim & Tennis Club, 8200 Hamilton Spring Ct., Bethesda, MD. Parking available.
