Nat'l Inner Beauty Day! Oct 7th & Let Me Help You Turn Your Story Into Profit @ #FullerWoman TODAY

https://www.facebook.com/events/477045286007522

As part of the International Fuller Woman Expo October 7th 10am to 4pm, I'll be doing a workshop on Turning your Story Into Profit. More info can be found at www.fullerwoman.org or go directly to https://www.facebook.com/events/477045286007522 for details.

About workshop facilitator:

Detroit native, Sylvia Hubbard, a single mother of three, has worked tirelessly to promote and encourage emerging writers in Michigan. She independently published her first romance novel in 2000 and has continued to write in that genre, sometimes venturing into other subgenres. Always urban and contemporary styled, her writing is enjoyed all over the world. She has published 6 paperbacks and over 30 e-books.

The same year she published, Ms. Hubbard also created Motown Writers Network to fill the lack of education and networking for Michigan authors online and offline. By 2004, she was frustrated that all the literary conferences had moved too far away from the city and co-created The Essence of Motown Literary Jam Conference held only in the City of Detroit annually.

We are so very pleased to have Sylvia with us to show us how to publish and craft our own stories for the masses.

What is the 1:1 Marketing Consultation?

If your book is being printed or is published, it’s time to work on getting your book in the hands of readers, the shelves of retailers and libraries, and make you and your work visible online. Even if you’re still writing your book or considering your publishing options, it is never too early to start marketing yourself as a writer. Start with a 30-minute customized consultation with Susan Julien Larimore, a marketing expert from Splattered Ink Press. Sign up for a special session when you register for the Quit Whining Start Writing Conference — for only an additional $50. Prior to your marketing session, Susan will connect with you, determine your needs, request you complete a marketing questionnaire so she can prepare meaningful materials, ideas, and suggestions for you ahead of time.
