A lot of writers struggle with how to increase awarenesss about their books. They think that just because it's out on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, people who need to read it will find it, and it will take off. Unfortunately, there's just too much competition online to stand out. 
   So what can be done to get the word out? RMA Publicity will be leading the workshop, "Tips for Increasing Awareness About Your Book" at the Rosemount Writers Festival on Saturday, March 18, 2023. Our session is scheduled to be held between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. at the Steeple Center, located at 14375 South Robert Trail in Rosemount, Minnesota.
   This workshop takes authors through the process of planning and promoting events for their books. We'll discuss email marketing, social media, traditional media, event marketing, advertising, setting up events and more.
  The workshop fee is $15. Here is the registration link. 
   RMA Publicity is also handling the PR for the festival. So far, promotion has been secured in The Star Tribune, Pioneer Press, Sun This Week Newspaper, on The Loft Literary Center's website and on Patch.com. In addition, a live preview interview has aired on KSTP television. 

   Both KARE 11 Saturday and the FOX 9 Morning News are planning morning live shots from the Steeple Center on Saturday, September 18. Tune in to KARE at 8:30 a.m., 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. FOX 9's live interview is scheduled for 8:45 a.m.
