The Web 2.0 Bootcamp: Get Fans, Build Your Name, and Sell Your Books

In today’s publishing world, debut authors have to write well, but they also have to help sell their own work. Many agents and editors are looking for writers who bring an existing audience to the table. In this workshop, students will learn practical tools and techniques to build large networks of followers, fans, and eager readers. The methods discussed will include social networking, new media, and serializing novels as free audiobooks. The instructor will outline the process he used to create cheap, highly effective advertising, and a fan base that helped land book contracts with major publishing houses. Why let a small number of insiders—agents, editors, and publicists—decide the success of an author, when the tools for building an audience are readily available?
