SUMMARY:April 15th: Workshop: Position Your Book for Success with Dave Farrow
DESCRIPTION:Marketing expert Dave Farrow is the two-time Guinness World Record holder for greatest memory. To earn this title\, Farrow recalled the exact order of 59 decks of shuffled playing cards using “The Farrow Memory Method.” This method was originally invented to combat Farrow’s dyslexia and ADHD and it is now a unique memory system backed by a double-blind neuroscience study from McGill University. Farrow is first and foremost an entrepreneur who mastered the art of marketing to promote his own business. He took his skill in memory and developed several educational products and used publicity as his primary sales tool. His results are impressive. He has been a featured guest expert on over 2000 interviews in the media\, including Dr. Oz\, The Today Show\, Live with Regis and Kelly\, Steve Harvey\, Discovery Channel\, and many others. \nToday\, Farrow uses his keen understanding of the brain in the public relations and media sector. He is the founder of Brainhackers.com and the CEO of Farrow Communications\, a Buffalo-based\, full-service PR and marketing firm known for its unforgettable branding.

SUMMARY:How to Sell More Books Using Metadata
DESCRIPTION:Amazon\, Barnes & Noble\, Apple\, Kobo\, and Google Play all run on algorithms\, but each of them is different. Each provides their own tools to authors to help them become more visible to the right readers. But how is an author or small press to know what works best where? And how do you even decide whether to publish on one platform\, or “go wide” by publishing on many? Whatever you decide\, your metadata—the little details you enter in your book’s upload form—feeds the algorithm. In turn\, this can make or break the success of your book. \nUSA Today bestselling author and instructor Shelley Adina will take you through each retailer\, pointing out which algorithms work where\, and which tools are aimed at visibility for your books versus visibility for you\, the author or publisher. She will also talk briefly about selling direct on your website\, a strategy more and more authors are using for greater control of their business.

SUMMARY:Using Short Works to Grow Your Author Business
DESCRIPTION:Matty Dalrymple discusses Using Short Works to Grow Your Author Business\, including using non-fiction books as calling cards to other income streams and using short fiction to interest readers in longer works. \nOn the non-fiction front\, Matty uses her own experience with her short non-fiction works (Taking the Short Tack: Creating Income and Connecting with Readers Using Short Fiction and The Indy Author’s Guide to Podcasting for Authors) to illustrate how the opportunities these open—consulting\, speaking engagements\, articles\, contest judging—provide far greater income than the sales of the books themselves. She shares tips on how authors can best position themselves to capitalize on their short non-fiction as a “business card” for their other offerings. \nOn the fiction front\, based on the material from Taking the Short Tack\, she discusses how authors can connect with readers using short fiction\, including using it as a reader magnet\, as audio offerings\, and as promotional material. She discusses how to use short fiction to create income\, focusing on the opportunities offered by indie publishing. And she discusses how short fiction can indirectly support a creative business by enabling authors to market test new characters\, worlds\, or genres\, or to re-start the engine of their (longer) creative work. \nOn both fronts\, Matty discusses how authors can find\, nurture\, and capitalize on these opportunities by building a community of fellow creators in the writing and publishing worlds.
