PROMO DAY

THE PROMOTIONAL EVENT FOR THE WRITING INDUSTRY IS BACK!

Saturday, May 9, 2009

An all day, online, international event for people in the writing industry packed full of tips and advice along with a variety of opportunities for writers, publishers, editors, etc. to promote their work and services. Readers are also welcome to drop in and get to know the authors better in the online chatroom, view the video trailers, or read the sample chapters on site.

Founder and Organizer of the even, Jo Linsdell, had this to say: “PROMO DAY” came about because I was looking for opportunities to promote my books using the Internet at little or no cost. PROMO DAY is a great opportunity to network with other members of the industry, take part in online workshops and promote and best of all it’s FREE.”

For more information and to see the workshops taking place, go to:
