Book reviews are vital in helping to spread the word about your book so more people will learn about it and buy it. Start the new year learning about book marketing tactics with the Guild’s San Diego chapter. This session can be valuable to you no matter what phase you’re in—whether it’s planning, writing, or promoting your book.

How to Get Book Reviews and Build Buzz will feature David Wogahn, founder of the self-publishing services company AuthorImprints.com, and author of The Book Review Companion, and The Book Reviewer Yellow Pages.

We’ll meet via Zoom for a presentation and Q&A. Join us for this eye-opening event so you’ll learn how to get your book the attention it deserves.
