This workshop is ideal for authors already using Facebook, who have a profile but have not taken the next step of creating a Facebook author page.

You may not feel you need a Facebook page. You may not see why it's even necessary. You might not know where to start.

If that sounds like you, then this online workshop could be just what you need.

Some things you'll learn:

• You might have heard that Facebook is no longer relevant. You may believe that your readers aren't on Facebook. I'll share a few simple statistics that will make you question that 'knowledge' and think again.
• Why friends are not enough - extending the reach of your writing beyond your Facebook friends.
• How to tap into the reach of bookshops, writers festivals, publishers and other writers.
• The real risk you face by promoting your book using your personal profile.

Even if you're still sure you don't want a Facebook author page at the end of this session, you'll know more about the impact of your decision. And you know what they say - forewarned is fore armed!

Regardless of whether you end up getting a Facebook page, this workshop will give you something to think about, some tools and insights, and access to my 25 years of marketing experience.

Hi, I'm Miriam.

Are you already using a Facebook page to promote your writing? This workshop might not be for you ... but if you have burning questions or an idea for another workshop, let me know. It may already be on my 'coming soon' list... or maybe your idea will inspire me to add something new into the mix.

It can be devastating to realise that even when you've finished your book, and gone through the editing process, you've got a heap of work to do to market and promote your writing.

Marketing can feel like a mysterious landscape filled with promises and pitfalls. My aim with my workshops and courses is to de-mystify marketing for creative people like authors, musicians and artists. I'm all about practical answers and I understand first hand the tension between the yearning to get back to the work you love, and the need to promote what you do and reach the people who will love it - and buy it. Knowledge breeds confidence. Confidence makes anything possible.
