The intent of the workshop is to share methods that work, don’t work, and what it entails to pursue different levels of book marketing. Participants will meet in breakout groups to discuss success and failures related their individual book marketing experiences. The groups will then share their discoveries with the entire workshop. The era of COVID-19 has also provided some unique challenges to book marketing and sales, and will also be a topic of discussion.

Warren Martin is the current SLPA president. He often jokes and tells people that he doesn’t know what he wants to do when he grows up, and hence dived into writing late in life. After a 21-year career in the Army, Warren transitioned into business operations and later business ownership. During recent years he focused on academic pursuits, writing, and supporting various organizations. Warren has earned an MBA, and a PhD. in business and organizational leadership. He currently teaches business and leadership-related courses for Norwich University and Bryan University.

As a grandparent of two boys, ages seven and three, Warren makes grandparenting his primary focus. It has also developed into his latest project, a children’s book series called “Adventures with Pop Pop” based on actual adventures. Warren’s debut novel was a Cold War prisoner-of-war historical fiction, Forgotten Soldiers: What Happened to Jacob Walden. The first installment of his mystery/thriller short story series is “Till the Cows Come Home.” http://www.warrenmartinbooks.com/
