Become a Book Marketing Maven: In this day and age, authors are expected to help market their books. In this workshop, writers learn ten inexpensive and effective strategies for marketing their books long before the release date. From business cards to blogs, speaking to networking, this workshop covers marketing basics new and established authors can begin using right away.

Keeping Track of What You’ve Got: To effectively research and write non-fiction articles and books, writers need an organizational system. In this workshop, they receive tips about how to proactively organize research information for easy access when the writing begins. Strategies include organizing and coding interview questions, managing notes and audio files, taking notes while reading research materials, and creating tables and data bases to track what’s been gathered.

To Thine Own Self Be True: During twenty-five years in the classroom, Jolene learned to teach students more effectively by tapping into their different learning styles. Writers can use those educational strategies to increase their productivity and decrease their frustration. In the first part of this session different learning styles are described. Then participants use an assessment tool to determine their style. They then learn how to create a daily writing routine to match it and become more productive writers.
