My novel is about a 15-year-old girl who discovers that she comes from a long line of female criminals. But I’m not a teenager: I can’t navigate social media effortlessly, and I can’t steal my place in the spotlight! I would love to take this course, and I would use my knowledge to promote my own work, and to help other writers like me learn how to create their own platforms.

As an out of work PR guy, I could really use the boot camp to be sure my Social media chops are in good shape, and thus make myself more attractive to potential employers as well as do a better job of marketing myself.

My first book was published earlier this year and I’m vigorously working on the second. One thing I have learned is, the writing is cupcakes compared to the marketing. My publisher has not offered any help in any regard so I find myself alone in a sea of other authors working just as hard to get their works noticed. It is a daunting task and I am lost in space, lost at sea, lost, lost, lost. I desperately need a lighthouse to show me the way before I drown in this media tsunami!

I am trying (with marginal success) to allocate the right amount of time to my social media efforts, on Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn. And by “efforts,” I mean being an actual human being there by sharing good stuff, and not just trying to peddle my bookish wares. I often fall down the rabbit hole of social media—so many fascinating stories and links and then whoops—it’s 4pm and I’ve done a half-hour of work all day. So I hope the class would help with those issues.

As for deserving the class, let’s see, hmm… Well, I make great sandwiches, and I will make them for the MediaBistro staff on demand.

Comment on What Is Considered Previously Published Writing? by Writer's Relief Staff

Hi Cheri,

Unfortunately, that is considered previously published, and even if the smaller lit mag has a low circulation, it’s really not ethical to recirculate them. You’ll just have to write some new poems .
