Workshop: Sell More Books This Holiday Season
Orna Ross runs a Planning for Profit program for authors and poets
Yes, it's that time of year again. The season when festivals and commercial pressure combine to ensure that more than 80% of books sold each year sell in these last few months.
Whether you call it the holiday season, the Q4 shopathon, or the big book Christmas bonanza, it makes sense for you to make the most of it. That's what we'll be planning out in this month's live zoom workshop.
First, we'll tap the experience of the hive mind to mine some good ideas, then we'll look into the specifics of your marketing, your readers, your genre and your niche. Workbook exercises will empower you to plan three initiatives to sell more books this season.
And if the thought of all that commercial activity around Black Friday, Christmas, and January sales gets your resistance rearing up, we will explore that too.
You'll do the planning work, there and then, and will have plenty of chances to have your questions answered in this live interactive workshop. You'll leave with your holiday marketing plan complete and a checklist of exactly what you need to do to have your best bookselling season ever.
The workshop takes place at 5pm UK time on Friday 30th September. Check this world clock to find your time–but don’t worry if you can’t make it live.
