Friday Published Penns Luncheon with multi-award winning author Jim Rada

Writing Past Your Book: Get Paid While Promoting Sales with Jim Rada

Facebooking, tweeting, and blogging all play an important part in self-promotion, but what if you could promote your work, build readership, and get paid to write — all at the same time? James Rada, Jr., a full-time freelance writer and novelist, will offer strategies that he uses to make money while promoting his work, including short stories that bridge the gap between novels, nonfiction articles that expand your platform, backlist revival, and presentations about writing in general or your book in particular. He’ll touch on writing query letters to magazines, pitching a column to newspapers, self-publishing short supportive works, and making public presentations at libraries, fairs, and conferences. Immediately following the luncheon, please stay for an interactive demonstration on KDP, Jim’s preferred way to get short stories into his readers’ hands, plus Smashwords if time allows.

Lunch is a Wrap Buffet – ham/turkey/veggie wraps, soup du jour, potato salad, broccoli salad, pasta salad, hummus with Pita Chips, freshly baked cookies and brownies
