Establish Yourself as an Author in 30 Days

Jennifer's unique approach to connecting with editors, agents, media and readers has led to a steady stream of book contracts, speaking gigs and much more.

Earlier this year, Jennifer joined us to host Build Your Author Platform, a workshop that taught the basic elements of a writer's online presence (i.e. website, social media, your author brand). Here was some of the feedback we received from attendees:

This made creating a platform and learning about branding very accessible. Bravo! Paula M.

Best webinar I’ve ever seen! Thank you, thank you! Julia B.

Build Your Author Platform was about the what of author marketing. What tools do I need? What should I include on my website? What's an "author brand"?

Now it's time to learn the why and the how.

And to get you right into action, Jennifer's done something remarkable:

She's analyzed the process that took her from unknown writer to a professional author with a loyal fanbase and created a simple 30 day plan that any author - published or not - can follow!

On November 19th, in one 90+ minute workshop (with lifetime on-demand replay) Jennifer will explain it all, and set you on a 30 day journey that will transform your writing horizons.
