As authors and writers of literary works, these professionals may be active in associations of speakers and writers for their particular industry or trade. It’s a wonderful opportunity to meet other authors, find sponsors for book signings, book tours, and other future writing engagements and activities. Authors can also benefit from new ideas, resources, and professional development opportunities. To get the most out of your networking goals, authors and writers are encouraged to create and use your 30-second pitch to look for opportunities for success.
Listed below are some tips where these professionals can develop new relationships, expand their preferred network, and create an ongoing bond of networking opportunities!

We encourage authors and writers to bring their books or literary works to networking events. It is a great way to introduce yourself and better explain your literary masterpieces to others. It can also guarantee you a quick sale or new customers for other products associated with your book. You can also read your book and describe it to your business counterparts and encourage them to tell their friends, colleagues, and networking associations. Also include business cards, brochures, and flyers about upcoming events related to your book and products.
30 second speech
A great way to get a sale, flaunt your credibility, and make a great first impression is to develop a 30-second keynote. Your speech should include your name, job/career, company, name of most recent literary work, name of publisher, brief description of the book, and future projects for book promotion. Your counterparts will not only be interested in hearing about your current goals, but may also be sponsors or investors for future goals and activities. Have a great 30 second speech and encourage people to invest in your products or company and excel in your networking efforts.
