October 8 – Lunch N Learn: Stop Chasing Bestsellers! How to Build a Marketing Plan

By

Stop Chasing Bestsellers: How to Build a Marketing Plan

Thursday, October 8 at 12 pm PDT

A FREE Virtual Event

Unable to attend? No worries. Register anyway and receive the replay!

Book marketing has changed more in the past fifteen years than in the previous fifty. Authors today have access to an overwhelming number of promotional tools, from social media platforms, podcasts, and email newsletters to book festivals, speaking engagements, media outreach, online advertising, and reader communities. While social media often dominates the conversation, many proven traditional marketing strategies continue to deliver strong results without requiring authors to spend hours online every day.

You may have attended workshops promising a simple formula for bestseller status. The reality is that successful book marketing is not one-size-fits-all. Different books, genres, budgets, and personalities require different approaches. The key is understanding your options and building a marketing plan that works for you.

One of the biggest mistakes authors make is waiting until publication day to start thinking about promotion. Effective marketing begins months before a manuscript is finished and continues long after the book is released. Building an author platform, growing an email list, connecting with readers, gathering reviews, and creating visibility all take time.

In this practical and information-packed presentation, lifelong marketer Kathleen Kaiser will guide authors through the full range of book marketing opportunities available today. She will explain what works, what doesn’t, the costs involved, and the advantages and disadvantages of each strategy. Participants will learn how to create a realistic marketing plan, avoid common pitfalls, and focus their energy where it will have the greatest impact.

You can’t do everything, nor should you. But by selecting the right three or four marketing tools for your book and your goals, you can build momentum, reach more readers, and give your book the attention it deserves.

About the Presenter

Kathleen Kaiser’s journey through the dynamic landscapes of marketing, technology, and the arts spans over five decades. Beginning as a music journalist and transitioning to publicity, Kathleen has left her mark on the most exhilarating industries of her generation. Her career has been a remarkable evolution from the electrifying world of rock and roll in the late 60s and 70s to the transformative digital and internet revolution of the late 80s, 90s, and 00s. She is a frequent conference speaker and sits on several literary arts boards. She served as President of the Writers & Publishers Network for twelve years. Throughout her career, Kathleen’s words have graced publications in the United States, Japan, the UK, and Italy. In addition, she is the author of five published books, four dedicated to the music industry, a novel, and a collection of plays. She launched the podcast, “Talking Book Publishing,” in March 2021, now co-hosted with poet and book marketer Adanna Moriarty, with whom she is co-founder of ProBookLaunch, a new book marketing assistant tool.

September 10 – Lunch N Learn: How to Work Best With a Literary Agent

By

How to Work Best With a Literary Agent

Thursday, September 10 at 12 pm PDT

A FREE Virtual Event

Unable to attend? No worries. Register anyway and receive the replay!

Successful collaboration with a literary agent starts long before the contract is signed. Begin by researching agencies carefully so your project matches the kinds of books they represent and the markets they know well. Prepare a professional query letter, a tight synopsis, and a manuscript that has already been revised to the highest standard you can achieve; agents receive hundreds of submissions and quickly set aside work that feels unfinished. Once you have an offer of representation, ask clear questions about communication style, submission strategy, and career vision so both sides understand expectations. After signing, treat the relationship as a true partnership: respond promptly to emails, meet deadlines, share relevant career updates, and remain open to editorial and business feedback. Remember that an agent’s job is to advocate for your work with publishers while guiding the larger arc of your writing career.

Consistency, professionalism, and mutual respect turn a one-book deal into a lasting professional alliance that benefits both author and agent over many years.

  • Research the agent’s preferences and recent sales thoroughly before querying.
  • Submit only polished, complete work that fits their stated interests.
  • Communicate clearly, promptly, and professionally at every stage.
  • View the relationship as a long-term career partnership, not a single transaction.

Meet and learn from these two top agents! Andy Ross offers decades of bookselling wisdom and seeks smart, original work with strong narrative and emotional depth. Laurie McLean brings marketing expertise and specializes in middle-grade, young-adult, and adult genre fiction. Both value polished, compelling projects.

About the Speakers

Andy Ross opened his literary agency in January 2008. Before that, he was the owner for 30 years of the legendary Cody’s Books in Berkeley. The agency represents books in a wide range of subjects including narrative non-fiction, science, journalism, history, religion,  children’s books, young adult, middle grade, literary and commercial fiction, and cooking. However, he is eager to represent projects in most genres as long as the subject or its treatment is smart, original, and will appeal to a wide readership. In non-fiction, he looks for writing with a strong voice and robust narrative arc by authors with the authority to write about their subject. For literary, commercial, and children’s fiction, he has only one requirement– simple, but ineffable–that the writing reveals the terrain of that vast and unexplored country, the human heart. Visit www.andyrossagency.com, www.andyrossagency.wordpress.com.

Laurie McLean is a founding partner and president of Fuse Literary. She spent 20 years as the CEO of a publicity and marketing agency and 8 years as an agent and senior agent at Larsen Pomada Literary Agents in San Francisco. Following a stint as the CEO of a successful Silicon Valley public relations agency bearing her name, Laurie switched gears to immerse herself in writing and co-founded Fuse Literary in 2013. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Journalism from the State University of New York and a master’s degree at Syracuse University’s prestigious Newhouse School of Journalism.

Participants will learn:

  • How journaling enhances creativity and strengthens your writing voice
  • Ways journaling can help overcome perfectionism and writer’s block
  • Practical journaling techniques to support your writing life and well-being too
