Promoting your novel: Gillian Wills at Eumundi Writers Festival

Many of you are authors or aspiring authors and will have heard about the need to promote your book. This is what I’ve been working hard at. I work on it so extensively I’ve been asked to chair a panel on Promotion at this year’s Eumundi Writers Festival. 

Incidentally, last year’s Festival was a delight. Friendly, inclusive, celebratory and with a great line-up of speakers who were effective communicators.

Berkelouw Books Eumundi manages the provision of new books and the sales and Eumundi’s main drag has a nest of collegial cafes serving tasty food. There’s also the Eumundi market which is extensive.

If you’d like to book tickets to my Promotion session, you can do so here.

I will also be in conversation with Laura Jean McKay about the mind-bending joys and pitfalls of environmental writing and animal characters, at the festival. To book tickets to this session, you can learn more here.

Don’t forget to check out the whole EWF program. There’s something for everyone.
