9:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon – Angela K. Durden,
business writer and children’s book author, “Marketing and Promoting Your
Self-Published Book”
Are you interested in selling your book
nationwide but can‘t even figure out how to sell it
locally? Having a hard time zeroing in on the best strategies that fit your
life and circumstances? Have some ideas but need feedback? Then don’t miss
Angela K. Durden’s seminar where you will dig into, tear apart and rebuild
your marketing tactics and refine your style. Bring your ideas, any existing
materials, printouts of your web pages and your book, even if it isn‘t
finished! Durden will teach you how to look at what you have to offer on
several levels: visually, emotionally, financially and realistically. At the
end of this intense, fast-paced and information-packed session you will leave
with a good idea for marketing and press releases and promotion ideas for your
book that will work in your life. Peter Bowerman will join her during the last
hour for a brief introduction to his afternoon session, a discussion of using ebooks as a way to add profit to your hard book sales and a Q&A where you can
ask any questions on your mind.
Angela K. Durden, a former free-lance
writer, started a writing, design, and print brokering business in 1992. In
2000, she started a small publishing company to publish and market her own
works. Her first book, Nine Stupid Things People Do To Mess Up Their
Resumes, sold 1,000 copies. It also proved to be a popular book to steal;
yet she still broke even. Heroes Need Practice, Too!, her second book,
was published in 2006 and is the first in the A Mike and His Grandpa Story
children’s series. The next book in the series is currently being illustrated
and is planned for a late-2008 release. She is also editor of the monthly
non-profit trade newsletter, UTA Industry Watch.
1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. – “Becoming
a ‘Well-Fed’ Freelance Writer” with Peter Bowerman, successful
commercial freelancer and author of the “Well-Fed” series.
Love
to write, but hate to starve? Interested in turning your love of writing into
a $75-$125 an hour living? Like the idea of freedom, flexibility and enviable
lifestyle benefits? Join veteran commercial freelancer Peter Bowerman for an
exciting exploration of the lucrative and surprisingly accessible field of
commercial freelancing: writing for businesses. In this fast-paced session,
you’ll see actual samples of commercial work, while learning how to get
started, where the business is, how to get it, what to charge and much more.
In the last hour of the workshop, Angela Durden will join him to discuss the
freelancing subject, and they’ll then open it up for a Q&A session.
Peter Bowerman, successful commercial
writer (since 1994) and business coach, is the author of the award-winning
Well-Fed Writer titles, the self-published how-to standards on lucrative
commercial freelancing. His impressive commercial client list has included
Coca-Cola, BellSouth, IBM, UPS, American Express, Mercedes-Benz and the
Woodruff Arts Center. He has published over 250 articles and editorials, leads
seminars on writing and is a professional coach on both commercial
freelance-business start-up and self-publishing. Bowerman chronicled his
self-publishing success (50,000 copies of his two books in print, and a
full-time living for five-plus years!) in his award-winning 2007 release,
The Well-Fed Self-Publisher: How to Turn One Book into a Full-Time Living. (For
