The Power of Community—Use your village to help you write your book

March 14, 2016 by Danielle Baird Leave a Comment

This week, Danielle Baird and Heather Doyle Fraser will be talking about the power of community when you are writing your book. Books are born out of communities and authors thrive in these communities as well. Writing is a solitary endeavor, but you don’t have to do it all alone.

In the 8th webinar of this 10-part series, Danielle and Heather discuss:

  • The importance of surrounding yourself with good writers.
  • The importance of feedback and how it makes your book better.
  • The importance of witnessing other authors — their writing and process — and how this can help shape your writing, creativity, and individual process.

  • How you can share your work and process while gaining followers and adding people to your tribe.
  • How we both used Facebook and other social media to market our books.

The Detail Difference: The Art & Science of Self-Publishing

February 27, 2016 by Danielle Baird Leave a Comment

Today is a different era in publishing. The gatekeepers are gone. No longer are you held to a traditional publishing company’s agenda, niche, whim, or financial needs. Today you can choose to self-publish, but there are so many choices and so many ways to do that — and the differences are in the details.

In this webinar, we’ll be talking about:

  • Different ways to self publish your book, including self-publishing arms of traditional publishing companies (like Balboa Press), CreateSpace, Ingram Spark, etc.
  • The business of applying for copyright, creating an imprint for yourself, and buying your ISBN.
  • The basic elements of design, including templates for covers, and interior design template services.

From Blog to Book: Taking your writing from one medium to another

February 26, 2016 by Danielle Baird Leave a Comment

You are a prolific writer — you post on social media every day and you also write a blog. At some point you realize that you have a lot of content and maybe it’s time to write a book, but where do you start? You have so much content? How do you make sense of it all?

This week we’re talking about all things blog to book. In this webinar, you’ll learn:

  • How to sort through your writing.
  • How to make decisions about what goes in the book and what stays in the virtual world.
  • How to let your existing writing help you to create deeper pieces that engage your readers.
  • How to make shifts in your writing based on format — books sometimes require something different than a blog.
