About Sam & Katie Speaking at your event Work With Us One-to-one consultations
Find out how to market your books effectively
 

Welcome to The Book Marketing Show! My name is Sam Missingham, founder of The Empowered Author, a community for authors. I have wanted to launch an event focused on book marketing for a long time. I have been busy talking to authors and experts to make sure every session will give you the confidence to market yourself and your books effectively, irrespective of what stage you are at in your career.

I know that this is an area that some of you don’t enjoy or perhaps find completely bewildering, so I have had this in mind when choosing speakers, authors and experts with a focus on practical ideas that you can go away and implement.

I really hope you can join me on the 3rd and 4th of November, or you can watch the sessions over the following months and continue learning at your own pace.
