Memoir Writing in the Digital Age
The Year of the Memoir is 2012! Memoir writers have more tools than ever available for writing and publishing a memoir. But writers have many questions in this digital explosion–
- Should I write short or long pieces, do I need to find an agent or is it better to self-publish–and how do I self publish?
- What’s this that everyone is talking about–building a platform? What the heck is that, and why do I need one?
- Social media–it seems like just another thing to keep me from writing–and again–why do I need it?
- Marketing–aaak-I couldn’t even sell Girl Scout cookies. I just want to write.
We have gathered some amazing experts that can answer all these questions, and much more. They understand this new era of writing and publishing–and work to help writers meet their goals to become successful authors. They teach writers how not to allow the “digital” aspects of this new age to intimidate them–and find ways to enjoy reaching out with their message to larger audiences worldwide.
I have learned so much about these new tools and resources in the last few years, and have reversed my own position about how important they are. I have even learned to enjoy using Twitter, Facebook, and my iPhone! There is a lot to learn, but you can do it, one lesson at a time. At our Telesummit, you can learn in your pajamas, and bring your questions to the call!
The teleconference is FREE and the downloadable audio will be a resource you can draw upon in years to come!
