I have taught workshops before on different subjects and my best-attended one was "How to get your name lnown before you are published." It was about social media and ways to help people find you and eventually, find your books. At the time I was the most well-known author who hadn't sold a book yet and at the same time I had a fan base and platform. My tips must have worked because several of the people who took my advice ended up on The NY Times best-seller list. The difference between them and me is that I have to work full-time to pay the bills and they were able to dedicate their days to writing and promotion. Sigh. Gotta have health insurance though.

I also posted an example of a scene that uses those tips.
