Saturday, October 28--Marketing Beyond Social Media with Jen Graybeal (Zoom meeting)

​

There’s more to marketing than a social media presence. Consistently creating interesting, engaging content takes time and creativity--both are precious commodities for authors. Not to mention the challenge of finding followers. In this session, Jen shows us how to look beyond social media and ads to tap into other marketing options. She will also explore how to develop a marketing strategy with 3.5 questions and why marketing presents such a big challenge for authors.

Jen Graybeal is a creativity coach and freelance editor. She's worked with hundreds of romance authors that want to take their books and business to the next level.
