Who Should Take Part in Promo Day 2019


Promo Day is a conference for creatives of every kind; Writers, Authors, PR companies, Publishers, Editors, Book Cover Designers, Illustrators, Book Reviewers, Book Bloggers, and anyone else interested in books and marketing.

The event gives all participants the chance to connect with others from all areas of the publishing industry. So if you're looking to network with industry professionals this is the event for you! 

Writers and Authors

Promo Day is all about what happens after you've written a book. It's a chance for writers, and authors to promote their work, whilst networking with others from the industry, and learning new strategies to help them in their career.

PR Companies

Book tours are a highly effective way to promote new, and older releases. Given that a large amount of Promo Day participants are authors and publishers, this is the perfect event to showcase the services a PR company has to offer. 

Editors

Although the main focus of Promo Day is book marketing, and author branding, the event also touches on elements like editing, formatting, etc.... that play an important role in the success of a book. The first step for great sales is having a great product. This is why editors should participate in the Promo Day event. It's the perfect platform to use to raise awareness of the importance of editing, and to showcase the various services they offer. 

Book Cover Designers

Whilst we'd all like to think it isn't true, most of us are guilty of judging books by their covers. A book cover can make, or break your chances of success.  A lot of Promo Day's participants have yet to publish their books and are looking to learn more about the industry before they take that step. For those considering self publishing, being able to connect with book cover designers during the event is incredibly useful. Many in fact, will be on the look out for a cover design for their book.

Illustrators

When it comes to illustrations a lot of writers don't know where to start. Finding an illustrator to work with can be difficult for those who haven't done it before. Promo Day is the perfect place for illustrators and writers to connect and discuss the illustration process. 

Book reviewers

Book reviews are gold for authors. Word of mouth is the best kind of publicity an author can get for their book. Authors are always on the look out for book reviewers they can share their books with. If you're a book reviewer you're sure to find new opportunities during the Promo Day event.  

Book Bloggers

Book bloggers do an amazing job of spreading the word about books and authors. From reviewing books, showcasing them, hosting giveaways, interviews and guest posts, book bloggers are an author's best friend. So if you're looking to connect with authors and publishers, and to put yourself on the industry radar this is the event for you.

Avid readers

Not a professional book blogger or reviewer? But you still love books and finding out more about authors, and the publishing industry? Promo Day is for you too. There are lots of giveaways where you could win free copies of books, and they are also lots of opportunities to chat with authors during the event. 

So want are you waiting for? Bookmark this event now so you don't miss out on Promo Day 2019.

Webinar: Use Your Spare Creative Energy to Build a Community with Sandy Lender

#Webinar: Use Your Spare Creative Energy to Build a Community with Sandy Lender #PromoDay2018


Webinar Title: Use Your Spare Creative Energy to Build a Community

Presenter: Sandy Lender

A brief outline of what will be covered:
Authors have used blogs to attract audiences to their new releases since the early 2000s. For the past 10 years, attracting an audience to a blog has become more difficult. Enter the concept of building a community or network. We’re not talking about going back to forums and yahoo groups. Instead, we’ll talk specifically about how to build a community similar to the Mighty Networks concept, either on that emerging (and impressive) platform or on other free platforms. You CAN bring all your marketing elements together in one place and it doesn’t have to be scary.

In this session, we’ll look specifically at:
·  How to decide who you invite to your network—how to “niche down” to make the community work for its members
·  How to set the goals for your network
·  How to prepare topics for engagement
· How to make your community—large or small—profitable in engagement, dollars, traffic, or what YOUR goal may be

About Sandy: 
Sandy Lender has a 26-year career in journalism and public relations. She has taught media training to university officials and corporate CEOs, but also has a keen understanding of online marketing. In the mid-2000s, she ran a number of blogs to support marketing of the fantasy series ArcheBooks Publishing released for her, and she taught successful blogging to fellow authors. Lender taught how to use social media for one’s business at the 2011 CONEXPO/CON-AGG, which is the largest tradeshow in the United States, and at a couple World of Asphalt conferences over the years. She has been collecting awards for her technical writing in 2016 and 2017, and her company IYF Publishing has released its first novel, She’s Not Broken, in early February of this year.

Webinar: Understanding Audiobooks with Virginia Jennings

#Webinar: Understanding Audiobooks with Virginia Jennings #PromoDay2018


Webinar title: Understanding Audiobooks

Presenter: Virginia Jennings

A brief outline of what will be covered:

How to find your producer/ what to look for
What information to give your producer before they start
What to look for when they send you a sample

How ACX works.

About Virginia:

When V.L. Jennings isn't traveling to other worlds through her imagination, she calls Dillon County, South Carolina her home. She was born in Nashua, New Hampshire in 1987 and is the author of two science fiction novels; "The Alien Mind" (which is the recipient of the Readers Favorite Five Star Review Award), and "Visionary From The Stars".

But what motivates Virginia to create, to illustrate, to prognosticate? Virginia is a speculator, the kind of person who always debates the "what if?" of where stories both true and fantastical are leading themselves to, which explains her love of post-apocalyptic fare such as "The Walking Dead." Through her writing, she enjoys trying to figure out what our human potential is, and where our innate desire for a better world could lead us.

Overall, Virginia is just about as real as a person can get. Yes, even authors love to sing along with their favorite local radio station while driving, and Virginia is no exception to this rule. She enjoys watching Doctor Who or Star Trek with her family over dinner, and also watching the latest sci-fi and action movies with her husband. On the weekends, you may even find Virginia and her family at the local comic book store, hunting down more comics to add to their collections.

V.L. Jennings spends her free time writing flash fiction on her blog and working towards her degree in Electronics Engineering. You can find out more about V.L. Jennings at www.virginialorijennings.com


You can also find V.L. Jennings on any of these social media sites!
