Starting this month,
Author Marketing Experts (AME) is offering a series of free classes designed to help both all authors, whether novice or expert, learn how to market their books and take advantage of opportunities available on the Internet.
The classes at the newly dubbed AME-U feature industry leaders and marketing experts such as Jeniffer Thompson, author of Web Site WOW, and Kim Pearson, author of You Can Be An Author, Even If You’re Not a Writer.
They are also introducing a new format. The classes are available live to listen to by phone as well as interactive powerpoint presentations via an online conference room.
The first class in this series will be on
Thursday April 9th at 4pm Pacific time. Jennifer Thompson will present Successful Blogging Techniques where you will "learn how to optimize your blog, write captivating titles, utilize keywords for added exposure, join online blog directories, understand the importance of avoiding duplicate content and much, much more."
The sessions are recorded, so for those who cannot attend the live event, you can check into getting an
AME-U All Access Pass.
More helpful classes are being scheduled and will be posted soon. Be sure to visit the
AME site right away to register for this week's class and to see the full calendar.
The new Just the FAQs Podcast series kicks off with Karen Reddick, who is the owner of V-And-E-Services and The Red Pen Editor providing virtual author assistance and editorial services to publishers, authors, and writers.
Grammar Done Right! is my favorite and most used desk reference. Karen Reddick has provided a superb compilation of grammar, punctuation, and style tips that every writer, professional or beginner, encounters on a regular basis. The book is organized in such a logical fashion that you can quickly find what you need and get back to writing. Instead of a list of rules, every tip is illustrated by examples of how to properly use a word or punctuation and often includes common misuses as well.
