BCATW.org Writers Directory Upload Party

The new Writers Directory is coming to http://BCATW.org !

This online directory will soon be installed on the BCATW web site and will require a small amount of work on the part of BCATW members to upload their directory listings.

At this Upload Party, BCATW Communications Director and Webmaster Mari Kane, will guide members on the process of creating a listing and finessing it to your satisfaction.

Why are we creating a web directory on BCATW.org?

• To help our members get found by clients seeking writers in specific genres

• To give our site better links and increased visibility to the search engines

• To drive more targeted and contextual traffic to the site

Following the completion of our site upgrade, we’ll blitz the media with the news.

In addition to guiding the uploading of our listings, Mari will offer tips on how to blog on WordPress and how to contribute content to the BCATW.org site. After all, the more fresh content we publish, the more search engines will take notice of our site. Rising tide and all that…

Since this is a working online meetup, it will be held at the Oakridge Library, where the Wi-Fi will sustain us. We’ll work straight through with no official break, so please bring your own snacks.

Each participant is required to bring their own laptop or pad loaded with formatted images and text. A powerful battery is a plus in case we run short of outlets.

Among the fields you’ll be required to complete are:

Writer description
Genres - all of the commonly-known genres you write in
Phone(s)
Physical Address(s)
Website address(s)
Writing clips links
Social media links
Video links
Photos

Please have these files prepared before the meeting.

While this meetup is geared toward BCATW members, non-members are also invited to observe the process and learn best practices for working on a WordPress website.

BCATW members are Free, Non-members pay $10.
