Learn How to Presell Your Book at Next Writers Resource Center Workshop

FAIRFIELD, Calif. - June 30, 2017 - PRLog -- Authors will discuss how to promote and presell books using social media, websites and other tools at the next Writers Resource Center (WRC) workshop. The group's founder, author and  independent publisher Janie P. Bess, will share how she sold 300 copies of her first book in one month, before it was published, using online resources.  Fellow authors/publishers Vicki Ward and Wanda Campbell will also lead segments of the session. The event will take place on Saturday, July 8th from 10 am to 12 noon at 1745 Enterprise Drive, Fairfield, room 112.  Everyone attending must RSVP by emailing janiepbess@yahoo.com. Members must bring their membership card or certificate. Admission is free for members; others pay a small fee. Complimentary refreshments will be served.

Bess will also talk about the importance of getting feedback as you write your manuscript and the best ways to gather input.

"Some writers try to write their books 'in secret'," she says.  "That's one of the worst things you can do; you need feedback from potential readers and buyers, while you're writing your book.  Ultimately, you're writing for them, not yourself, so what they have to say can be very helpful."

The workshop is open to writers of all genres and at all levels, from beginners to advanced authors.  Attendees must bring their own writing supplies or electronic devices and arrive early for best seating.

The seminar is part of WRC's ongoing Developing Authors Series and will include lecture, writing exercises, group discussion, and homework.  For more information on the organization's activities and how to become a member, please visit its website at www.wrcnoca.com.
