CONFERENCE

WORKSHOP: BOOST YOUR AUTHOR BRAND
FRIDAY 10 DECEMBER 1:10pm - 2:40pm

Supercharge your Author Brand with award-winning romance author and branding junkie, Ally Blake, as she discusses how dedicated, deliberate, decisive branding choices can be a deciding factor in a publisher buying your book, a new reader trying one of your stories for the first time, and turning readers into fans.

Learn how to create a holistic, overarching, instantly recognisable brand across multiple platforms - website, social media, book covers, live appearances – and build familiarity, connections, and relationships that keeps readers coming back for more.
