Jump-Start Your Book Publishing Year and Plan for 2014

The SLPA's January 8 meeting is all
about getting a great start to 2014 and planning for
the year. The success of your book is intimately related to getting
you and your book publicly known as a resource to your ideal
readers.

Our three presenters will help you move forward in
your efforts to become more recognized. It all begins with creating a
vision of where you want to be by the end of the year, then taking
steps toward that vision. Those steps include:

Creating a
workable marketing plan for your book, including:

Revisiting
your website to make sure all is accurate and up-to-date

Reviewing
your branding efforts (do
you have a consistent look across all platforms?)

Getting
a more in-depth understanding of how, exactly, one effectively
participates in social media without advertising(hint:
self-promotion is OK, but only infrequently)

Identifying
and sourcing the right experts to help you accomplish your vision
throughout the year

Ready
to kick-start the new year and set yourself up for success as an
author in 2014? Then this meeting is for you!
