We’ll discuss tradeoffs to evaluate whether a print run is right for your business, and most importantly, how to deal with a ton (literally) of books, and get them quickly and efficiently into the hands of readers!

Making Magic with Reader Magnets
Saturday February 8, 2025 1:45pm - 2:45pm MST
If you've done much research on selling books, you've likely noticed a vast general consensus that an author newsletter is a must! Reader Magnets are what get readers to subscribe to your newsletter. Seems simple enough, but what are reader magnets, really? What do they look like? How do you make them? What do you do with them after you make them? What should they do? Maybe you've even tried to make some, but they don't seem to be doing what you hoped they would. In this presentation, award-winning fantasy author, Z.S. Diamanti, demystifies what he considers to be one of the three foundational pillars for author growth. Let's make magic with reader magnets.
