market my book?" The presentation will examine what motivates
buyers from a social science perspective. These proven methods apply

pitching a story to an editor, or an author who wishes to increase
their book sales. In a broad scope this workshop applies to selling
anything - to anyone. Find out what works and why at this free LIAWS
