Are you an indie author ready to see your book in the hands of more readers? Let's look beyond the newsletters, beyond the standard social media posts, and beyond the paid ads. In this interactive class that is half lecture, half brainstorming, we'll discuss ways to think outside the box, and reach an audience you didn't know was waiting. 

We'll talk about methods for leveraging your own strengths, embracing your local community, and reaching audiences outside the traditional book-centric media outlets. 

Your readers are waiting, so let's go find them!

JACQUI CASTLE is an educator and novelist living and writing in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville, North Carolina. Her novel The Seclusion, which School Library Journal called "A must-have for all libraries and fans of scifi," garnered Castle the title of 2020 Indie Author of the Year through the Indie Author Project (a collaboration between Library Journal and Biblioboard). Castle also currently teaches creative writing through the Great Smokies Writing Program and Redbud Writing Project. When not writing, Jacqui can be found hanging out with her family and consuming far too much caffeine.
