So, You Want To Be a Successful Writer

I want you to be successful as a writer. I remember the feeling of putting out my first book, the excitement it brought, the happiness of seeing it in my own hands and looking it over. But then the fear kicked in. How do I sell this ton of books, this four-foot square ton of paper and ink?"These and other aspects of being a writer are covered in this class. I explain my thoughts on being a writer, both the good and bad aspects, in a raw and honest manner. I also go over techniques for how to get publicity, how to market yourself, tips on promotion, the proper use of social media, tips for networking, public speaking, traditional publishing versus self-publishing, formatting and cover design, if you need a literary agent or not, and how to get exposure.Other topics are how to handle rejection, self-motivation, and improving your personal branding and outer appearance.
