Children’s Books were excited to host five of tomorrow’s superstars for Author Profile Training today! Christopher William Hill, Kathryn James, Teri Terry, Fiona Roberton, and HL Dennis all took part in an interactive course, run by Phil Norman, Justin Somper and Graham Marks from Author Profile, who are renowned for “guiding authors through the business end of writing.”
The course was designed as a fast track way to orientate, energise and focus our new authors, guiding them through the culture, the partnerships and also the proactive role
authors can play within the publishing industry.
In an increasingly digitally focused environment, Author Profile emphasised the importance of embracing self-promotion stating that authors must “ask not what your Publisher can do for you, but ask what you can do for your publisher!”
A wonderful and informative time was had by all as they broached topics such as branding, online marketing opportunities, delivering high impact author events with confidence, and maximising time in the media spotlight – all very useful to know!
