So you've written a hit story but no readers? Learn how to woo your first 100 loyal readers with a practical marketing and publishing strategy for your short stories, novels and comics. Participants will learn: 1. How to write a pitch that works. 2. How to deliver 'free samples' of fiction. 3. How to reach readers who will love your stories, share with friends and beg for more.
