I will be presenting to kids on Australian Story at Festival commencement, then talking about Beijing Tai Tai in the afternoon, right before the official opening. On Saturday, I'm running a fabulous adult workshop (3 hours) . . . 

Marketing Yourself and Your Work

Who are you as a writer? Who is your target audience? What do you want to achieve? This three-hour intensive workshop tackles the world of marketing your work and yourself as an author.

Topics will include:

·         understanding your product

·         branding

·         marketing your work

·         using the internet in its myriad forms

·         self-promotion, including book launches and events

·         the media

·         promotional text, blurb and photos

·         approaching publishers

·         tips for success

Learn how to make your work stand out in a saturated book world and how to compete in the market with excellence and savvy. Light notes will be provided, however a notebook and pen is recommended.

Hope to see you there!
