\u201cMarket Yourself as a Writer,\u201d with Nicole L. Reber<\/strong><\/p>\n Marketing starts long before your book is published. It should start before your book is even written. Springboarding from the FUSE conference\u2019s theme of literary citizenship, this workshop will talk about how helping other authors, getting free books, and the very act of writing are just some of the many free ways to market yourself. Starting early also helps build a better platform, which leads to quality agent contracts and publishing deals. We\u2019ll set aside some time to generate ideas for marketing yourself, then more time for a Q&A.<\/p>\n Nichole L. Reber<\/strong>\u2019s nonfiction, prose poetry, and lit crit have been in Entropy<\/em>, Fanzine<\/em>, World Literature Today<\/em>,PANK<\/em>, and elsewhere.
