The Librarian’s Guide to Authors

2024-09-25T18:00:00Z 2024-09-25T19:00:00Z The Librarian’s Guide to Authors

Every community is home to authors. Whether independently or traditionally published, authors are out there wanting to connect with you. In this webinar, we’ll explore the relationship between authors and librarians, including the unique ways each group is attracted to books and how to use those attractions to work together.

As a result of this program, attendees will:

  • Learn about marketing and promotion challenges for authors and how to help.
  • How to work with authors who approach the library.
  • How they can support authors and create a mutually beneficial relationship.

    Participants will also receive a free copy of Cari’s short ebook, THE LIBRARIAN’S GUIDE TO AUTHORS.
