Welcome!
Author! Author! brings together authors to share ideas about marketing themselves and
their books through promotions, public relations, publicity,
advertising and other marketing techniques.
Author! Author! welcomes first-time authors of all genres as well as those who
already have a few published books under their belts; seasoned as well as new writers; marketing and PR professionals; and anyone interested in book publishing or who want to learn more
about it.
Author! Author! agendas will feature guest speakers as well as offer discussions of one or more
topics. The second hour will allow for
group networking to further explore and follow up the evening's
topic, or one-on-one/two discussions on other marketing issues.
Author! Author!'s focus is on marketing and promotion, not "how to
write" with the goal of helping authors learn about, discover,
and use the best and most cost-effective means of getting the word
out about their books based on genre, target market, etc.
Author! Author! meetings
are generally held the second Tuesday of the month. Dates and times
will be posted on the "About Us" page -- as well as members' and
others' book event listings, guest columnists, marketing articles
from several sources, tips, advice, and ideas shared by contributors
and members.
