Come visit us at 1st Turning Point where unpublished and published authors teach, learn, and share all about promotion!
1st Turning Point is a fun place for writers to teach, share, and learn about that first turning point in your career—self-promotion and marketing.
The story of your career opens with the decision to write a book, the inciting incident is learning the craft and writing that first piece.
But what comes next is just as important if you plan to become a career novelist. It’s your first turning point.
These days, we need to begin building an ‘author presence’ before signing that first contract if we want to sell enough books to win another contract.
No longer can we wait to start selling ourselves until we have a book coming out.
We have to start while we have the time to prepare physically and financially for the promotional marathon to come.
1st Turning Point is a home for all writers, but especially those who are unpublished, newly published, self-published, e-published, orphaned, small-press published, etc.
Whether you write novels, short stories, lyrics, or poetry, we’re here for you.
Got my news update from Authors Promoting Authors and had to come to join you at 1st Turning Point. From your page, I was able to connect with an old acquaintance of mine - Rowena Cherry.
ReplyDeleteI co-authored and published a book late last year with my husband - but it is non-fiction called Car Advice For Women (and Smart Men). Do you have other non-fiction authors in your group or is it just fiction and poetry ?

Thanks so much for posting this!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteThe articles on 1st Turning Point usually pertain to all authors, and most is also good advice for other types of artists as well. What we're trying to accomplish is to teach people how to blend art and business. This is not the easiest thing to wrap our brains around.
Thanks,
Ann Charles
