The Start Effect

01/03/2024

Hey writing pals! I have been listening to the Publish Her Podcast and it has been full of great information. The host, Alexa, is hosting the Women in Publishing Summit from March 6-9th, 2024 and I'm excited to check it out!

This is a virtual summit and it is jam packed with incredible sessions, many are also recorded to watch later too! There are also bonus sessions like Marketing and Selling Books to the K-12 School Market coming up next week that are included for Summit Ticket holders. If you want to come too, please check it out through my affiliate link https://wondercreekmedia--writepublishsell.thrivecart.com/2024-wip-conference-aff/ and remember - you are worth it! Let's get after those book goals in 2024! I would love to know what book goals you are working towards this year!!

Join us for the 2024 Women in Publishing Summit, an event for women authors, publishers, and publishing industry professionals.

Your social media presence should reflect you and your art. Similarly to finding your own artistic style, finding that authentic online presence can be a journey for many of us. Authenticity wins over algorithms every time.

Being online can be overwhelming. But you don’t have to be everywhere and just a short amount of dedicated, strategic time spent online (in spaces like social media) cane be really beneficial! Take a deep breath. We all are where we are and all we can do is take steps to where we want to be.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by social media, or you want an kick start to your strategy this year, join me on Feb 6th to talk about the do’s, dont’s, and how to stay engaged on social media.

Unfortunately, tech and I are fighting a bit this morning so I won’t be able to go live right now as I had hoped. I’ll post a recording soon!
