Quote: The afternoon is devoted to marketing and distribution, since getting a book into print is only the start. Participants will use the ‘multiple long tails’ concept and the templates in Bruce Batchelor’s new Book Marketing De-Mystified to create the optimal marketing strategy for their indie book.
