Description: You’ve written your WIP… now it’s time to write your author brand story! With every online touchpoint and offline interaction, your author brand is being formed. Be intentional! Decide upfront what author brand story you want to tell. Branding is both how you present your books to the public and yourself as a writer. Aside from the obvious benefits of marketing your books and engaging with readers, developing an effective author brand can be an incredibly satisfying and creative endeavor. It requires that you dig deep and define who you are, why you write, what you write, and who you write for. Through interactive exercises and examples, learn how to identify your brand and why it’s essential to incorporate into your writing career. Discover how to showcase your Brand Strands — including visual, auditory, print, and online — and which are the best match for you. Create your Author Brand Impact Plan to best position yourself for a successful future writing career.
