The Complete Indie Author
[fvplayer id=”158″]
During this opening session, Lauren Sapala will introduce the workshop with her own development as an indie writer. You will learn crucial mindset shifts and she will invite you into the understanding that self-publishing is not only a valid choice, but could be the key to real breakthrough in your writing career.
Lauren will also share her screen and take you behind the curtain to view her self-publishing dashboards, so you can have a real-time look at the economics of self-published books.
You will also learn the truly DIY methods that Lauren has used to publish her books at low cost.
If you experience confusion or reluctance about marketing yourself and your work, Lauren will include important strategies and tools to help you move beyond this hindrance – without becoming an annoying salesperson or spending thousands on PR that won’t sell your books.
This session is the perfect “guerrilla writing and publishing” start to a full day of liberating knowledge that you’ll gain in this workshop.
Meet the teacher:
Lauren Sapala is an author, teacher, speaker, coach, and an INFJ. She is the author of The INFJ Writer (a writing guide for writers of the INFJ and INFP personality type), The INFJ Revolution, and Firefly Magic: Heart Powered Marketing for Highly Sensitive Writers, as well as two autobiographical novels. Lauren began working with struggling writers in 2009 when she founded the WriteCity writing group in Seattle, and then expanded the program to San Francisco in 2010. She currently teaches the Intuitive Writing method through online classes, workshops, and video courses.
Almost all highly creative people are also Highly Sensitive People, many of which are INFJ or INFP personality types. These Highly Sensitive Writers feel any possible threat to their integrity intensely. The fear they feel around marketing for writers takes root in limiting beliefs that shut them down before they even begin. Lauren Sapala shares stories and strategies to help Highly Sensitive Writers shift their mindset and open up to new ways to promote their work. She helps all writers realize that—due to their Highly Sensitive nature—they might just make the best salespeople of all.
