This actionable workshop is designed for authors at any stage — whether traditionally published, indie, or hybrid — who want to build long-term visibility, grow their audience, and increase book sales without burning out. We’ll break down what an “author brand” really means (beyond logos or aesthetics), how to clarify and communicate your value, and how to use your brand as the foundation for everything from marketing to media outreach. This session is ideal for both fiction and nonfiction authors who want their name and work to stick with readers long after they leave the page.
✨By the end of this workshop, attendees will learn:
Define their unique brand positioning and audience connection points
Understand how to use brand clarity to guide email, social, and outreach strategies
Develop 3 signature brand messages to use across platforms
Learn how to stand out in a crowded genre without relying on trends or gimmicks
