How do you stand out from the crowd to make others remember who you are? Through your personal brand! Alice started her own writing and editing service business 14 years ago, and through dedication, talent, and by following her own rules about PR and branding, she’s built a successful career in the arts. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to grow your author brand by highlighting what makes you different from the crowd through your personal story, how you show up, and how you network/volunteer your time. Alice will also lead an exercise on how to build to your own bio. In this workshop, you’ll see how to incorporate your printed and online materials (website, social media networking, and business cards) to create a powerful brand will help attract, engage, and retain new readers and fans as it builds the loyalty of our current ones.
