Want to build an author platform of loyal, hungry fans, so that you can *really* sell your book proposal when you’re going for that big book deal? Or do you want to promote a book you’ve already written?

If you fit either of these and you live in or near the Boulder, Colorado area – You’ll want to attend my FREE mini-workshop in Boulder this Saturday morning.  The presentation is called “Using a Blog to Build Your Platform” and  it’s part of the Boulder Writers Meetup Group. The Meetup leader, Lori Rohik Pfeiffer, has very kindly invited me to come in and speak with her group, and I’m delighted to oblige. Here’s a quickie description:

“Literary agents and publishers are telling authors they need a platform in order to get published – but how do you build one?  Beth Hayden will discuss how to use blogging (and social media) to build your platform so you have an excellent marketing base when you’re ready to send out those book proposals! Come with your blogging and social media questions!”

We’ll be meeting at the Paradise Bakery Cafe (back room), 1207 Pearl Street, Boulder, at 9:30 AM on Saturday, May 22nd.

If you’re interested in attending, please RSVP using the Meetup event page (you’ll need to sign up for a free Meetup account, if you don’t already have one). Hope to see you there!
