You Are Cordially Invited By Henry DeVries of Indie Books To Kick Into High Gear

September 12 & 13, 2024 Virtual Marketing Retreat On Zoom

If you would be open to a conversation about attending my September 12 & 13 virtual Marketing With A Book and Speech retreat on Zoom, that would be great. The retreat is about how authors can add paid speaking to what they are doing. The retreat helps authors get more bookings, more buzz, and more business so they can have more impact and influence.

Venue: Zoom. When you register we give you the link.

Content: No more ready, fire, aim. No more ready, aim, aim, aim. For you to have more impact and influence you need the right strategy, the right tactics, and the right execution. The magic is in the mix. You can shine a spotlight on your book and speaking by using a mix of strategies that are working now. Let’s spend eight hours of brainstorming, getting feedback, and committing to an action plan to make that happen.

Schedule: The two-day Marketing With A Book and Speech Retreat begins on Thursday, September 12th with a three-hour session from 1-4 pm PT (3-6 pm CT, 4-7 pm ET). There will be homework for Thursday night. We reconvene Friday, September 13th for two sessions from 9 am-noon PT (11 am – 2 pm CT, noon-3 pm ET) and 1:30-3:30 pm PT (3:30-5:30 pm CT, 4:30-6:30 pm ET). This is not a pitch-fest. All books, tools and worksheet materials are included. No kidding. You will be asked to present and share several times over the course of two days. You will leave with a pragmatic action plan of what to do in 30 days, 90 days, and the next year. There will be breaks between modules.
