Writing a book means learning two jobs: author and marketer. Join Drew Brown and Sara Billups in this live online conversation for aspiring and seasoned authors. We’ll sit down and talk like we would with friends over coffee about how the marketing process can be surprisingly fun, the emotional toll and validation that can come from marketing a book, and plenty of nuts-and-bolts tips that Sara has learned after bringing two books into the world.
