Stalk Smarter: Researching Comparable Authors to Create Better Content

Many authors know they should be posting on social media, but they're unsure what to post—or why some content attracts readers while other posts go unnoticed.
In this session, you'll learn how to identify and analyze comparable authors, uncover what resonates with readers in your genre, and use those insights to create content that feels authentic to your books and brand.

We'll explore social media platforms, online retailers, reader communities, and review sites to better understand reader behavior and discover content opportunities hiding in plain sight. By the end of this session, you'll have a practical framework for researching your market, generating content ideas, and creating posts that help readers discover your books.

Don't Launch to Crickets: Your First Two Years as an Author Roadmap

Many authors spend years writing their first book—and only begin thinking about publishing once the manuscript is finished. Unfortunately, that's one of the biggest reasons launches fall flat.

This workshop helps authors shift from thinking about publishing one book to building a long-term author career. Together we'll map out your first two years as an author, including release timing, budgeting, reader growth, marketing priorities, and the systems that create momentum instead of starting over with every launch.
Whether you're preparing to publish your debut or planning your next series, you'll leave with a practical roadmap that helps you make confident decisions, avoid common mistakes, and build an author business designed to grow with every book.
