My first book was published last year and since receiving The Call, I've gone on to sell four more stories to my publisher. I'm planning to attend the National conference in Atlanta this year and have started net-working with various writing groups and RWA Chapters. Several requests have come in, asking me to give talks or workshops on specific topics in the writing field. Unfortunately, public speaking makes me very apprehensive and I also have no idea how to plan for workshops.]]> no@spam.com (Barbara Dunlop) http://www.autocrit.com/websitepublisher/articles/146/1/Speaking-Or-Presenting-A-Workshop/Page1.html http://www.autocrit.com/websitepublisher/articles/142/1/Three-Simple-Rules-For-Self-Promotion/Page1.html If you find yourself approaching the idea of self-promotion with dread, you’ve come to the right place. One of my goals for this workshop is to show you ways to promote yourself and your work within your comfort level.]]> no@spam.com (Cindi Myers) http://www.autocrit.com/websitepublisher/articles/142/1/Three-Simple-Rules-For-Self-Promotion/Page1.html http://www.autocrit.com/websitepublisher/articles/141/1/Setting-A-Realistic-Budget/Page1.html Let's begin with an assumption: Unless touted as the new megaseller, whose first novel sold at auction for an astronomical, news-making advance, the average new author probably is not rolling in bucks. Agreed? We would all like bigger advances and lots of publisher perks (like an unlimited publicity budget), but the reality in the publishing world generally mirrors that in the business arena--you start at the bottom and work your way up. That in mind, getting the most for our PR dollars is of utmost importance. Determining how much you can spend without breaking the bank should be foremost in your mind. ]]> no@spam.com (Cindi Myers) http://www.autocrit.com/websitepublisher/articles/141/1/Setting-A-Realistic-Budget/Page1.html http://www.autocrit.com/websitepublisher/articles/139/1/Getting-The-Most-Out-Of-Email-Lists/Page1.html There are thousands of e-mail list out there on every subject you can imagine, and
probably on a few you can’t and wouldn’t want to imagine. No matter what kind of
writing you do, you can bet there are a number of lists just for that genre, or even
sub genre. These on-line communities help you stay in close contact with other
writers, and sometimes readers. That can mean even more to writers like myself, who
live in small towns were they are no local writing groups. Many lists allow members to
pass on market news, take part in weekly writing or discussion prompts, ask
questions, do brain storming on stories, or even share the sadness of a rejection or
the thrill of seeing your work in print.

Affordable advertising can be difficult to come by for a self-published author. But there are ways around it. There is one thing you can do that will help to bring attention to you and your books. And that is to create an "internet identity".
