self publishing workshop

​One of the things that I am learning as I focus on developing my public speaking portfolio is asking people two questions: 1-where did they hear of me to book me, and 2-for reviews after the appearance is completed. 

When I was contacted by a library representative to book me for a self publishing workshop at the 2024 Brimbank Writers Festival I found out that he found me by googling me. So my SEO optimisation and constant updates of my website are working.

And then I was fortunate enough that attendees connected with me on social media and commented on my post and I was able to ask them if I could use their reviews. 

So I have updated my website with all my testimonials and photos, and created a little graphic capturing it all. I'm looking forward to more opportunities to deliver self publishing workshops and connect with more emerging writers and helping them get their writing out into the world.
