Strategies for authors on increasing sales – including publishing and distribution options, marketing strategies, branding and more – will be presented Sept. 26-29 (Saturday through Tuesday) during the Chanticleer Authors Conference & Awards Banquet 2015 at the Hotel Bellwether in Bellingham.
This year’s Chanticleer Authors Conference focuses on the business side of writing and publishing. The diverse schedule of classes, sessions and author events includes discussions of social media, pricing strategies and audio books.
“You don’t have to be a published author to attend this conference,” said conference organizer Kathryn Brown. “Aspiring authors will benefit immensely from this conference as it will help them reach their publishing goals. We will also offer ‘writing concept’ classes on creating original worlds, planning a series, developing memorable characters and more.”
The conference concludes with the Chanticleer Book Reviews Awards Banquet on Tuesday, Sept. 29. Chanticleer Reviews is awarding more than $25,000 in cash and prizes to winners of its writing competitions. Presenters and session leaders include Diane Isaacs, A-list executive film producer; Harvey Chute, founder of KBoards and Writers’ Café; Shari Stauch, CEO of Where Writers Win; Ben Coles, publisher of Promontory Publishing; Pamela Beason, award-winning eco-mystery author, and Tyler Byrd, CEO of Bellingham-based Redd Rokk Digital Marketing.
The public also is invited to attend free author readings and signings during the Books by the Bay Book Festival, featuring the award-winning titles, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Sept. 27-29.
