Outline of the Webinar:

One key aspect of author promotion is making personal appearances, such as book signings and networking at conventions. 

While social media has transformed the marketing landscape for authors, there is still no substitute for the value of in-person networking.

Daven's webinar will help you take the social media skills you learn here at PromoDay2016 to the next level.

Face-to-face conversations make impressions and leave memories far beyond what social media interaction can achieve.

Yet, social media is your key to the inner world of industry-leading authors, agents, publishers, and film/TV producers.

Once your door to the industry leaders is open, the skills you need to reap the unique benefits of in-person contact are what Daven will cover in his webinar. You never know how far "word-of-mouth" can travel, until you begin.

About Daven:

Daven grew up reading Dr. Seuss, the Encyclopædia Brittanica and dinosaur books, never suspecting that one day all of those books would play crucial parts as inspiration for the Vampire Syndrome saga. The simple yet infallible wisdom of Theodore Geisel serving as the model for protagonist Jack Wendell. Encyclopædia research inspired Daven to craft unparalleled levels of back story detail, reconciling science and folklore in ways no "vampire novel" has ever done before. And if that large meteor had not impacted the Yucatan Peninsula 65 million years ago, reptiles could easily have evolved into a humanoid form that would bear resemblance to the alien Pure Vampires of Daven's saga.  

Daven accepted the challenge to craft a saga featuring a brave, wise, dignified hero with special needs, which would reach an audience that would never dream of reading a novel like “Forrest Gump.” Like "Gump", a story where a hero with special needs proves that quick wit and cunning do not equal wisdom. Unlike "Gump", a story where danger stalks the hero from beginning to end, from Jack's well-meaning but devious human Vampire compatriots, to the carnivorous alien Pure Vampires that strike fear in the hearts of all human Vampires. Jack struggles to survive and find acceptance in a world where the "human" and the "monster" are one and the same.
