RECORDED WEBINAR: Crowdfunding for authors
How to raise funds to publish your book led by Amanda Barbara of Pubslush
It used to be that writers publishing futures were completely controlled by the publishing house gods. You would develop your craft, write your book, send it off to an agent and pray for the best. That path to publishing remains an option. However, for those of you with the interest and energy to take your publishing fate into your own hands, crowdfunding offers an attractive alternative.
To learn more about crowdfunding, I invite you to watch the recorded webinar above. Amanda Barbara of Pubslush generously shared her crowdfunding tips with me and the Writer.ly community.
You'll learn:
- What is crowdfunding is and how it can help authors?
- How to create and conduct a successful crowdfunding campaign.
- How to use your successful campaign for book sales and promotion.
PERSONAL NOTE - You can choose from numerous crowdfunding platforms to raise the money to publish your book. Pubslush is unique in that they are created specifically to support writers and publishing projects. Not only that, the Pubslush team have proven again and again to be the most accessible, helpful crew around.
