How To Write Like I Do
Coming Up: Kate Rogers and Jill Lightner

"How to Sell Your Book - And Yourself"
with Jennifer Worick & Kerry Colburn
May 22

Create a killer author platform and marketing plan that demand attention. This talk has you uncovering the many strengths and attributes that you can bring to the table as an author, participating in social media and other creative ways to build your platform, and brainstorming a robust and creative marketing plan for your title that will serve your book well, both now and after it's sold.

With more than 40 books and 40 years of publishing experience between them, Jennifer Worick and Kerry Colburn are the dynamic duo behind The Business of Books (www.bizofbooks.com), which offers publishing seminars, workshops, and consulting. Jennifer is the former editorial director of Running Press and the author of many helpful and hilarious books, including the New York Times best-seller, The Worst Case Scenario Handbook: Dating and Sex. Kerry, previously executive editor of Chronicle Books, most recently authored Mama's Big Book of Little Lifesavers. Now in Seattle, they guide potential authors toward marketable, savvy book proposals that have the best possible chance for success.
