Title: Step Up but Watch Out! Social Media for Writers
If you have a book or books, social media and other forms of self-marketing can help you increase your audience. If you self-publish, then all marketing (as well as all the other deliverables of getting a book out and finding people to sell it to) is up to you. I’ll share what current theory is on how/where/why to promote yourself with social media, gaffes to avoid, and also take a side trip into the wild world of Writer Beware, a lawyer’s blog about scam artists preying on writers.
