I had a great chat with Deborah Riley-Magnus. I first met Deborah at a Writers, Etc. Discussion on Facebook. (see post How to Inspire Blog Audience Interaction.) I was impressed by her knowledge of marketing and loved the idea that her skills have been targeted specifically for the author.
Deborah is a fountain of energy and knowledge. And it seems no matter where you turn, you find her. I can’t speak highly enough about the workshops she offers, which can be found at sites, such as SavvyAuthors.com. She provides easy to understand strategies in successfully promoting yourself as an author on blogs, social medias as well as other marketing avenues.
After just chatting with Deborah about family, weather and our work – I am totally inspired, and you will be, too. (She has an infectious laugh). Enjoy the podcast and be sure to check out her work and workshops. You won’t be disappointed.
What is an Author Success Coach?
Riley-Magnus describes the Author Success Coach : “The Author Success Coach is not a writing coach.” She doesn’t “provide writing prompts or tricks for overcoming writer’s block.” What Deborah does is show authors how to create an effective Book Business Plan, develop multi-level promotional strategies, and much more.
The Author Success Coach: Strategies for Author Success in a Turbulent Publishing Landscape is Deborah’s book based on her various online and live workshops. It covers everything from creating an effective Book Business Plan, to developing multi-level promotional strategies. It’s a book designed to help authors get past the terror of having to market their own book … and it will be out in November, 2011.
