June 22: Make Your Mark! Book Marketing for New Authors

June 9, 2023 By LDSPMA

With Christoph Koniczek from FriesenPress

June 22, 2023, 7:00–8:00 pm Mountain Time

Marketing is one of the most important elements of an author’s journey. Whether you’re planning to make this a career or fulfilling a passion project, you’ll want to ensure you establish the right marketing strategy for your book.

This webinar will provide an overview of the foundational marketing practices needed to build an audience for your book prior to publication and in the long term. We’ll also explore the differences between your book’s availability and creating demand for your book—as well as some tips and tricks to creating that demand.

Bio: Christoph Koniczek joined FriesenPress’s team in 2013, where he has helped authors bring over 2,000 titles to the market (and counting). FriesenPress is the world’s only 100% employee-owned publishing services provider. Since 2009, they have helped thousands of authors publish over 8,000 titles. Part of Canada’s largest independent book printer (Friesens Corporation), FriesenPress offers professional editing, design, distribution, and promotional support to those seeking to self-publish their books.
