SUMMARY:Grassroots Marketing for Authors: Workshop Led by Helen P. Bradley
DESCRIPTION:GRASSROOTS MARKETING FOR AUTHORS\nA Writers Workshop Led by Helen P. Bradley\, Author of Breach of Trust \nToday’s social media landscape is more saturated than ever\, making it hard for new writers to stand out\, connect with their target readers\, and sell more books. In this writers workshop\, instructor Helen P. Bradley will share how she promoted her debut novel Breach of Trust on a tight budget by using tried-and-true old school marketing. \nYou’ll learn how to: create community\, find book clubs and events\, write an elevator pitch\, organize a book launch\, create a mailing list\, and more. Even if you’re an introvert and marketing sounds more painful than a sunburn\, you can promote your book to your ideal audience with these authentic\, ethical marketing tools. \nThis workshop is for published authors as well as those still on the writing journey. It’s never too early to think about marketing. Come hang out with other writers and bring something to write with like old school pen and paper or your favorite device. \nLocation and Cost\nThis is an in-person writers workshop\, held at the Pat Conroy Literary Center (601 Bladen St\, Beaufort). Limited to 15 participants with advance registration required; $50/person. \nAbout Our Instructor\nHelen P. Bradley’s debut novel\, Breach of Trust\, was released in April 2023. It draws from her experiences during twenty-seven years heading a nationally-recognized crime victim advocacy program. It’s about one woman’s fight to protect crime victims and expose corruption within the district attorney’s office that leads her on a harrowing and life-changing journey. \nHelen was nominated for 2024 Georgia Author of the Year for a debut novel. She recently was voted Best Local Author and Breach of Trust Best New Local Book in Connect Savannah’s Best Of contest. More than 100 people attended her book launch and broke all sales records for the bookstore selling her books. In August 2022\, she won first place in NextTribe’s essay contest. The essay about raising her grandson was selected out of a field of 55 entries from across the country. \nFor a decade (pre-Covid) she mentored middle school student writers through the Deep program which was recognized by First Lady Michelle Obama (www.deepcenter.org). She helped young people write their powerful stories and they\, in turn\, inspired her to write hers. \nShe’s written curricula\, essays\, and articles for The National Organization for Victim Assistance\, The National Victim Center\, and the Georgia Victim Assistance Academy. She was a journalist at two daily South Carolina newspapers and has had essays published in The Savannah Anthology\, Savannah Magazine\, The Savannah Morning News\, and Law Enforcement Magazine.After her victim advocacy career\, she started a wedding officiant business\, Savannah Simple Weddings. \nHelen has a degree in English from Clemson University and earned a master’s in public administration from Georgia Southern University. She served as a trainer for the National Organization for Victim Assistance\, The National Victim Center\, and numerous other organizations. She lives in Savannah\, Georgia\, with her husband\, teen grandson\, and an antisocial rescue cat. She enjoys practicing yoga\, gobbling chocolate\, and reading obituaries.
