Join us at 7 p.m. on Monday, May 12, for some real talk about promotion and marketing for authors!

Whether traditionally or independently published, authors are expected to promote and market their books. Beginning authors are often unsure where to focus their efforts, so we often end up trying to be everything, everywhere all at once, with little to show for all the blood, sweat, and tears. How can authors bridge the gap between building a strong brand and converting customers? And where can authors focus their marketing efforts to make the most out of their time?

Jeannie Lin’s "Hard Facts about Marketing as an Author" discusses lessons learned from someone who has been though the ups and downs of marketing as both an author and an entrepreneur. From social media, to publications, to Amazon, to Kickstarter—here's a candid talk about what to focus on and what to possibly let go when trying to get your books out to the world.

Regular business meeting to follow!
