Webinar series description:
Join me and learn how to present yourself as a professional author in this eight-week series. We’ll be covering topics such as: speaking effectively in public, reading confidently from your books, planning and promoting brilliant book launches/events, creating fascinating speeches and workshops for presentation in schools/conferences/book clubs, creating powerful newsletters and blog posts, getting yourself interviewed on podcasts, radio and TV, and presenting as a professional and interesting author in these interviews. Each week’s webinar will have a downloadable worksheet to help you work through the topic discussed.
