Wordcrafters presents a two-part class on marketing for writers with Kristin Ammerman.
We, as writers, have bought into the notion that building your platform is a mysterious black hole that sucks all your creative time and energy. Don’t believe it! Kristin Ammerman is a marketing consultant who works with several successful writers and their literary entities. She has the “inside scoop” on what’s working and what’s not.
“Writers need to treat themselves as a brand and their writing like a business. Marketing is a part of that, but it shouldn’t be scary or time consuming.” — Kristin Ammerman

This session is open to all writers.

Add-On Workshop: Creating Personalized Marketing Plans
May 14th from 11:30 am – 1 pm
$60 (total for both sessions $97)Wordcrafters Workshop*: 480 Charnelton, Eugene
This session is perfect for writers who have already published, are submitting completed manuscripts, or are polishing up a final draft. If you’re panicking because “everyone” has told you to have a blog and be on twitter, this is the class for you. Each person will be invited to submit information about themselves to Kristin Ammerman for review before the class begins. She will guide the group through creating personalized marketing plans for their specific brand and business. This is a massive brainstorming session that Kristin will be guiding. These are a lot of fun and highly productive. Unfortunately, because of the type of work, this class will be capped at only 10 individuals. So sign up fast!
