The Marketing Coalition was established to help authors who are members of the Writers Alliance of Gainesville (WAG) to market their works.
WAG is happy to have Jolene MacFadden serving as the new volunteer coordinator of the group, which now meets by Zoom* at 10:00 a.m. on the third Monday of each month. The Zoom address is the same each month.
As Jolene says: “Most authors prefer to just write! But marketing is a necessary aspect of the business of writing. The more we learn and are willing to share, the better each of the Marketing Coalition sessions will become, and our businesses will grow.”
At each meeting, Jolene or a volunteer will discuss different aspects of marketing. Speakers will share what has worked for them and tips and ideas that other authors can try. Most of all, we want to harness the power of the group to help each of us build our businesses as authors.
The meetings are for general information, and in between, members of the group may send out pertinent marketing strategies they have learned since the previous meeting. They will also share links to upcoming learning sessions that are available on the web.
For more information on the Marketing Coalition, take a look at WAG’s YouTube Channel that Jolene set up. If you wish to join the group, sign up on the YouTubeChannel or here. Also, for anyone who does not know, WAG has a private Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/347111752667996/
