JakCre and JakFri is THE oldest, biggest, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta… and we invite you to join us for this workshop on "How to SELF-PUBLISH & build an AUDIENCE as a writer"!

Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle.
Come as you are... it’s the best version of yourself.

ABOUT THE EVENT

In the world of self-publishing and endless online content, selling more copies of your book than you have friends and relatives is already a success.

In this presentation, the host will explain his marketing strategy, his experience working with YouTubers and podcasters to further his reach, and how he used retroactive continuity to create the "Glenmont Universe"

A writing journey can be a ton of fun, profitable, and something inspiring other writers to find their own path to success.

The 45-minute presentation will be followed by Q&A and discussion, so that you can ask anything you wish to ask!

This event belongs to the series of "How to" workshops realted to writing. We have ad before:

ABOUT THE HOST

Peter Frost David is a writer from the US. He finds an outlet for his chronically overactive imagination through his writing. His work often appears on Reddit’s r/nosleep forum, and his horror stories have found their way onto many best-of-all-time lists. Despite what might be inferred from his unique and genre-jumping fiction, Peter recently moved from Uzbekistan to Indonesia, where he continues his research into monsters, horror, and the development of terrifying alternate worlds.

Peter sold over 1200 copies of his self-published novella. It took only 10 years, a million words of fiction, three abandoned projects, a GitHub repo, and a website.

WE HAVE A MEMBERSHIP FEE. HOW DOES IT WORK?

Our community has a monthly membership fee that can be paid through the app (2 USD/month or about 33k IDR/month).

🚨 There is a special double promo for MONTHLY subscribers! If you decide to join this event through the new meetup group "How to Become a Writer" (currently with a monthyl fee of 2.49 USD/month or about 40 IDR/month) that one membership will give you access to events of both HtBaW and JakCre so that you don't have to pay membership twice! Basically this is because I want more members on that group, so this is very convenient for joining both groups!

Membership can also be paid as a yearly membership of 320k IDR valid for 365 days after payment. Membership fee is offered with a promo discount to first-timers, who can become members for 240k IDR/year.

First-timers can decide to join with a sneek peak price of 50k IDR & pay the remaining 270k IDR at the next event they attend. Registered +1 can attend for free.

Renewals (after 365 days) and upgrades (to join JakFri) are offered at a special rate. All this is aimed at encouraging people to sign up, and then to attend as many events as they like!

Yearly membership can be paid at an event (cash/bank transfer/Gopay) or beforehand (bank transfer/Gopay). Text Corrado (+62 8211 489 3580) if you have any questions about membership.

Membership to both Jakarta Friends and Jakarta Creatives is offered for only 390k IDR/year. Membership gives access to all events plus exclusive perks available only to paying members, like for example our Give Away Birthday Celebrations with lucky draw (Sept 2024) or FREE pasta cooking (and eating 😉) workshop (Nov 2024) or Museum visits with FREE GUIDED TOURS (Sept 2024). To most events, attendees can bring a +1 for free, and we have some events open to all (paid and unpaid) members.
