I will be speaking at the San Diego Writers & Editors Guild meeting on Monday, May 23, 2016.
Topic: Using Social Media for Promoting Your Book: The Why, Where, When and How
Profile:
Larry Edwards is an award-winning author, editor, and publisher, and an accomplished 
marketer of several books, including Dare I Call It Murder: A Memoir of Violent Loss. Published in 2013, the memoir has been an Amazon best-seller in two categories — memoir and true-crime. Through his marketing efforts, his book has received 177 Amazon reader reviewers (106 being 5-star ratings) and has sold nearly 10,000 copies.
In his presentation, Larry will discuss the most effective Social Media platforms as marketing tools for developing a following of readers, how often an author should post, what is effective material to post, and how to develop a mailing list (and whether a mailing list is even necessary). He will also share the do’s and don’ts of using Social Media.
Larry serves as a freelance manuscript editor through Polishing Your Prose, and has edited a number of award-winning books. As a publishing consultant, he guides authors through the publishing process for paperback and hardcover books, as well as ebooks.
