Summary: Southeast Michigan professional writer and
marketer Leslie McGraw and publisher Heather Buchanan-Gueringer will present on August 9 in Ann Arbor to help writers learn how to create opportunities and improve
their chances of getting discovered.
Ann Arbor, MI – Many writers
in Southeast Michigan and all over have a passion either writing or the
topic they cover; however, there are bills to pay, and writing does not really
seem to be paying those. Most writers
are not sure how to make enough money to pursue their passion, even though they
are truly good writers. People who read
what they write enjoy it, but not many people are in position to read it,
because they do not even know these writers exist, much less know to read what
they have written, but a couple of local professionals are offering help.
There will be an upcoming event to help writers and bloggers
put themselves and their work in front of more people so that they can be
discovered. On August 9 in Ann Arbor, owner
of Les Go Social Media Marketing
& Training Leslie McGraw and owner of Aquarius Press and Willow Books
Heather Buchanan-Gueringer will team to present a workshop, “Marketing Success
for Writers.”
Co-event sponsor Leslie McGraw (http://www.LinkedIn.com/in/lesgo) shares,
“As a writer myself, I know how hard it is to market your work…when I say hard,
I mean internally.”
Knowing that many
writers and bloggers become disillusioned and discouraged, McGraw continues
to explain, “Just as young ladies are brought up with tales of princes and
fairy godmothers, new writers come with legends of self-published books that
went from the trunk to the best seller's list or fairy booksellers that will
pay you to sit back and do talks while they fund and provide all the marketing
sans elbow grease from the author.”
This event
for Ann Arbor writers will cover several topics:
-What type of marketing commitment new authors should expect
to give.
-The importance in knowing your readers online - and how to
find them.
-To blog or not to blog - benefits and risks.
-Branding.
-Digital tools for writers.
-2013 best social media platforms for writers.
Many writers are not sure how to get found, but Leslie
McGraw and Heather Buchanan-Gueringer are looking to help writers sidestep that
problem. For more information or to
