with Karen Whiting

by Donna Brennan

Karen is an author of over 500 articles and 16 books—and she has more books coming out this year!  She’s a whiz at finding ways to promote her books, and she uses her amazing marketing skills and ideas to help promote the books of many other authors as well, especially through the Christian Authors Network and at conferences.

 At the Greater Philadelphia Christian Writer’s Conference July 31 – August 3 Karen will be leading a clinic titled, “Developing a Unique Marketing Plan for Your Book,” where she’ll help participants create marketing strategies that will work for them. She’ll also be teaching an early bird workshop Wednesday on developing your nonfiction book pitch.

 I caught up with Karen at the end of the Colorado Christian Writer’s Conference in Estes Park, Colorado. Although she had had a very busy few days and was tired, she graciously sat down to an interview with me and shared a little bit about how she got to where she is in the publishing world and some of the ways she helps authors to promote themselves and their books.

And you don’t have to wait until your book is published before thinking of ways to market it. Karen can help you get the pieces in place so that when your book is published, your marketing plan is ready to go.

Karen and her co-author won the Golden Scroll Nonfiction Book of Year Award at the Golden Scroll

Awards banquet this June. http://awsa.com/goldenscrolls/index.htm ______________________
