Marketing, Promoting, and Selling During the Holiday Season is a course for fiction and nonfiction writers who are published or who want to publish. It’s never too early or late to start your Holiday Selling plan! This course pairs nicely with the Christmas in July course, but authors are NOT expected to have taken that course or to have a published holiday book/novella/story/article in order to take this course. With some tweaks the holiday selling principles can be applied to the business of books all year long.

Readers of historical fiction want to be transported to another time and place. They want
to experience your world along with your characters.
So, how do you weave all your research into your novel without creating long paragraphs
of historical text? How do you describe settings and details without telling?
In this workshop, we’ll talk about ways to create realistic characters of the time, while balancing
those characters with the socially accepted norms of the modern reader. We’ll examine dialogue,
again harmonizing historical language with modern. We’ll look at research, what to search for
and where to find it, and ultimately what to do when you make a mistake.
