Promoting your Writing with Wendy Townley
Today the role of promoting one’s work falls more and more to the author. With the right approach, buzz can be built when the pitch comes from the authors themselves. Whether in a smartly placed newspaper feature, magazine profile, or radio interview, the trick is to know how to get the coverage in the first place. This workshop will focus on how to promote written work using traditional media relations, event planning, and social media marketing.

Registration is on our website: http://www.omahacreativeinstitute.org/?page_id=76

Each workshop is $35 or you can sign up for all three for $90. Please email natalie@omahacreativeinstitute.org with any questions.
