RWA University WorkshopMarket Awareness for Romance Authors: Finding your Neighbourhood Date: November 20th Time: 7:00 PM Central Time Description: Getting your story in the hands of readers starts with your cover and your blurb - but authors often struggle to make these fit reader expectations, while also communicating the unique elements of their story. In this workshop you’ll learn a simple set of techniques for aligning your story with your cover and your blurb, so readers clearly understand what you're offering. We're going to focus specifically on romance examples, but the material we're covering is generally applicable to any genre. Market awareness is an ongoing task, and you'll learn to use a set of free tools to stay aware of what's going on in your 'neighborhood' in the market. Whether you’re an experienced author, or just beginning your writing journey, this webinar will give you tools to tune how your work comes across to readers, and to evolve with your genre in a way that suits your style, and your situation. I'll also mention a special Kindletrends coupon for RWA members which will give you 1/3 off a Kindetrends subscription (from USD15 down to USD10) forever.
