First Annual Marketing Summer Camp July 14-15, 2012

Marketing Summer Camp 2012. 

Marketing for Romance Writers Yahoo Group was founded in 2006 by Kayelle Allen, with the express purpose of sharing promotional how-to ideas and learning marketing skills with other authors. It started with about a dozen people, and now numbers well over a thousand. In the same spirit of sharing, the group has decided to hold a free online conference to make more information available. If you are an author, you are invited to take part, published, unpublished, in print, or ebook.

This year's theme is our group motto: Seek. Teach. Share. Learn. Succeed.
 
We chose July 14-15 so as not to conflict with other conferences during the summer. The specific times for panels and workshops has not yet been determined, but will be announced here when established. A website for the group has been purchased and will go live soon. Links will be provided.

Goodie bags will be provided for all guests, and will include handouts, promo idea sheets, coupons, discounts, and other items. We have received commitment from Romance Junkies and The Romance Studio for giveaways. More will be announced. If your company would like to donate downloadable or online-obtainable prizes please contact us by clicking here.

Topics for which we need speakers:
Handling Multiple Submissions
Promo Ideas
Promo Giveaways
Using Facebook Effectively
Twitter Tips and Tricks
Managing Social Media with Hootsuite, Tweetdeck, and Other Apps
