Michael Klassen and I were talking about how to encourage folks during this crazy lockdown, and we decided to host a series of six FREE webinars for writers.

I mean, we're all interested in furthering our writing craft and careers, right?

So why not make the best use of this lockdown together?

We'll be hosting this uber-informative series via Zoom over the next six weeks.  

And we promise that each one-hour class will focus on really practical help for writers.

Here’s a list of the topics we'll be covering:

1. How to create an e-newsletter in MailChimp (and other platforms)
2. How to create lead magnets and grow your list
3. Do these things to get your books into more bookstores
4. Tips on writing to today's internet-influenced readers
5. How to navigate today's three best publishing options
6. Bonus: Get answers to FAQs about writing, publishing, and marketing

In fact, we're kicking off the six week series TONIGHT with this bad boy: 

"How to Create an E-Newsletter in MailChimp

(and Other Platforms)”

Wednesday, April 15^th, at 6:30pm (MT)

This webinar will be held via Zoom video conferencing, and we promise to show you step-by-step how to use MailChimp to create an author newsletter and other email communications to send to people on your email list.

Don’t have an email list yet? No problem. Learn how to create your e-newsletter TONIGHT because NEXT Wednesday we're going to show you how to grow an email list!  

Ultimately, an email list and email communications are CRITICAL to nurturing your relationship with fans and followers.

Why? Because communicating with your audience by email means you’re no longer dependent on social media platforms showing your posts (when they feel like it) to (some of) your followers.

You’re absolutely going to want to grow this part of your tribe-building skills, so let’s get started!

By the way, the workshop will show you cool tricks to use in MailChimp, but you’re going to learn amazing strategies you can use no matter what technology you're using.

Look, I did a similar presentation on this topic just for our Illumify authors a couple weeks ago, and it was a big hit. I'll be switching up the presentation a bit for tonight, but this is definitely a skill and habit you need to master if you're going to foster loyalty and communication with your current and future readers.

To attend this webinar, register right now. 

There's a cap on how many folks Zoom will let in our virtual conference room so, seriously, don't wait. 

As soon as you register, you'll receive an email with the link you'll need to get in the Zoom room this evening.

And by the way, don't be shy. Share this email with your writer friends or groups. Anyone who can benefit is welcome.

Again, this is a completely FREE webinar series open to the public.

Many of us meet regularly and face-to-face with writers and writers groups we love.

That kind of fellowship and may be temporarily on hold, but we can still encourage each other, learn new things, and further our writing dreams even in this weird and crazy time. 

Register right now, and we'll see you tonight!
