WORDHARVEST Writers Workshop: ABCs of Market Analysis and Promotion, with Shirley Raye Redmond

Event Description

ABCs of Market Analysis and Promotion, with Shirley Raye Redmond
Writing a book can be tough.  Convincing a New York editor to buy it is tougher.  Selling 100,000 copies is tougher still. The workshop introduces students to the intricacies of market analysis and dispels well-circulated myths about successful book promotion.  Using hands-on exercises and discussion topics, Redmond shows participants how to develop a marketing plan that will convince an editor to publish their book and how to sell more than 100,000 copies of that book without hiring a publicist.
