If you start marketing efforts when your book comes out, you are about a year too late… you should start before your first book contract is even signed. (Really!) This workshop is for both unpublished authors, as well as published authors eagerly awaiting their book release. It will cover basics like Author Platforms (what they are, why they are important, how to create effective ones), in-person ways even introverts can “get themselves out there,” and how to make sure you keep up the good work long after that first book is on the shelf. It will help anyone who is now panicked they ALREADY ARE a year too late, too (relax… you’ll do just fine).

Bitsy Kemper is the proud author of 21 children’s books. She spent too much of her early career in the computer industry being interviewed in places like CNN and co-writing a nationally-syndicated newspaper column, not realizing the creative passion she’d have once she started writing children’s books. After authoring her first series of picture books, she figured out a way to merge her PR and marketing expertise with her writing. When not nose down and knee deep creating & editing, she enjoys presenting at writing-related events, eating dark chocolate, and pretending to clean the kitchen. Bitsy is an accomplished speaker, mother of three (four if you count her husband), and according to her business card, a really nice gal.
