Latest workshop from Chichester independent writers group

Spokesman Julian Kirkman-Page said: “At whatever stage you are at in the writing or self-publishing process, the one on-going aspect that is going to help drive interest and sales in your book is social media, and for most of us this is a complete minefield. It is no longer enough to have an author website and a facebook page for your book, to be successful you have to understand how to make the complex world of social media work you. So often you read the glib advice ‘invite all your facebook friends to share your page and tweet your book details – and very soon you too will have thousands of followers’. What, if like me you don’t have ANY facebook friends in the first place!

“In our final workshop in this series, hugely successful self-published author and social media guru Ben Galley will help guide us through. At our behest, Ben has condensed what is normally delivered as a half-day workshop into an information packed and highly focused two-hour session. Expect to leave inspired, knowledgeable and with your own social-media action plan.

The Novium, Saturday, July 25, 10am-midday. Tickets from the Novium or www.chindi-authors.co.uk.
