WORKSHOP (in person): How to SELF-PUBLISH & build an AUDIENCE as a writer 💪👏
Details
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.
