18 January 2020 | Featured Speaker Brent Gill | “How to Market Your Book Without Using Social Media”

December 1, 2019 By Natalia Corres

How to Market Your Book Without Using Social Media

Whew!  You’ve finally published your book!  But now you face the daunting task of marketing your work.

These days, it seems that advertising is all about using social media.  However, author Brett Gill has other ideas about book promotion.  Lots of them!  Brett will the guest speaker at the Writers of Kern monthly meeting on January 18, 2020.

Brett knows what he’s talking about.  He has published and successfully marketed two middle school novels, Fire on Black Mountain, and Snow on Black Mountain.  (He also writes a weekly column for the Porterville Recorder). In his presentation, Brett will reveal some effective strategies he uses to both publicize and sell his books.

 Writers attending this event will learn how to:

  • Schedule book signings at various locations, other than bookstores or libraries
  • Schedule book signings around high traffic events or celebrations
  • Get invitations to speak to Service Clubs, and other community organizations and groups
  • Write an introduction letter that creates excitement and makes them want you

You will come away from this presentation with fresh ideas about sales, marketing, and promotion.   You will also be better equipped to recognize unique opportunities for sharing your own work both within and outside your community.

Hope to see you there! You can purchase your ticket(s) here.
