Free to All–January Roundtable Discussion
January 10, 2013
4 PM PST 5 PM MST 6 PM CST 7 PM EST
Patricia V. Davis
At the beginning of this brand new year, you may be imagining reaching “The End” of your book. Yay! Of course, there is much to do after that, but it’s not too soon to learn how to polish your professional persona. How about visualizing yourself before a bunch of happy readers at your book launch, holding your book in your hands and presenting a polished presentation to your audience?
A factor that is important to your ongoing success is to create a positive relationship with your booksellers. This teleseminar will help you to learn what you need to know.
Whether you’re planning a book event at a retail book outlet or a unique venue, there are ways to make it right — things that can go wrong that an author might never imagine. Bestselling author Patricia V. Davis is known for her successful and fun book events. She will share with us the myriad steps that can make or break a book event, including a “Things to Do” and “Things Not to Do” checklist from which any author, whether debut or seasoned, can benefit.
You will learn about
- Making contact with event planners and negotiating your event
- Marketing your event
- Preventing mistakes that can alter the success of your event
- What to do after your book event
- And be available to answer your questions about creating your event.
PATRICIA V. DAVIS is the author of the bestselling Harlot’s Sauce: A Memoir of Food, Family, Love, Loss and Greece, and The Diva Doctrine: 16 Universal Principles Every Woman Needs to Know. She is the editor-in-chief of the non-partisan HS Radio e-magazine and podcast in which her “Expert in Failed Relationships” advice column appears. Her latest work and first published fiction, “Chopin, Fiendishly” appears in Tales From the House Band: Volume I. Patricia holds a Master’s Degree in Creative Writing and Education, and is the founder of The Women’s Power Strategy Conference.
Is there any possibility of posting a link to listen to it later? I’ll be in class at that time but I really want to hear what she has to say!
Thanks so much for offering this!

Ah, to have a “Professional Persona” in 2013. I’m in the Write your memoir in 6 months in 2013, so perhaps I can achieve a “Professional Persona” as well. Thank you for offering these wonderful free teleseminars. They are so helpful to struggling writers…like me!
Patricia V. Davis’s rountable teleseminar is on my calendar for 6 PM CST on Thursday, January 10th. I am looking forward to hearing her tell us about working with booksellers and our future audiences when we are presenting our memoirs.
Thanks. Looking forward to it.
I’m looking forward to the Roundtable.
