JRW’s June Writing Show Explores
Building a Writer’s Platform
Richmond, VA — Who are you as a writer? Whether
you’re a beginner or a seasoned author, how do you build
your brand and your following? How do you balance minutes
dedicated to Twitter with hours devoted to improving your
craft? Being a writer today means more than just writing.
Learning and implementing marketing strategies at every
chapter of your journey is essential for success.
The latest in James River
Writer’s Writing Show series, A Writer’s Platform:
Marketing at Every Stage of Your Career, on Thursday,
June 27, at the Camel, features three authors—Karen Chase,
Deb Dudley, and Meg Medina—each in a different phase of
their literary paths. Julie Geen, a freelance writer and
teacher, will moderate the discussion, including how to
prioritize and budget tasks and how to shape an identity.
The second half of the panel will welcome questions from the
audience.
Each writer offers a unique
perspective. “Marketing for authors is less about selling
and more about linking meaningfully to one's community,”
says Medina, an award-winning author of children’s and YA
fiction. Chase is the author of an independently published
travel book that has earned seven indie publishing awards,
and Dudley is embarking on a new career in Kid-Lit after
fourteen years as a successful marketing specialist.
The Writing Show, described as Inside
the Actor’s Studio meets the New York Times
bestseller list, happens live in Richmond the last
Thursday of the month. The host is James River Writers, a
nonprofit organization whose mission is to build community
by connecting and inspiring writers and readers in central
