If you're a freelance writer, especially a self-published author, being skilled in marketing is essential. The simple truth is, publishers today place the onus on writers to promote their books. How do you create an effective marketing plan? How do you develop relationships with your readers?

Join us for a panel discussion on how to create and manage your website and social media presence, orchestrate book releases and book signings, assemble your promo materials, and so much more. Our six panelists--Susan Green, Lois Hoffman, Liz DeJesus, Fran Severn-Levy, Marc Avery, and Weldon Burge--have experience with book marketing, and look forward to sharing their tips and advice. Bring your questions!
