Hi there! Duolit is on hiatus, but please feel free to explore our extensive archive of posts and our free Weekend Book Marketing Makeover. Thanks for visiting!

Speaking Topics and Availability

Duolit is available for virtual and in-person speaking engagements, half-day and full-day workshops on a variety of publishing-related topics. For more information, simply send in a contact form and we’ll get back to you in a jiffy!

Speaking and workshop topics include (but aren’t limited to):

The Self-Publishing Process

You’ve finally completed your book (woot!), but…now what? We have the experience and resources to guide authors through each step of the indie publishing process including:

  • The pros and cons of self-publishing vs. traditional publishing
  • Finding the best editor and designer for you needs (and budget)
  • Choosing the publishing option (print, eBook or both) best for your book
  • How to make sure your book is available everywhere, both online and offline
  • Approximate costs and timeline for the entire self-publishing process

Building Your Crazy-Dedicated Fanbase

80% of books published sell fewer than 100 copies, and that just doesn’t sit right with us. Give your book the best chance at success by building a following of dedicated fans who love you and your work. We’ll share:

  • How to build a following without begging or feeling sleazy
  • Why it’s so important to target specific readers (and where to find them)
  • The essential components of a successful platform (it’s not as complicated as you think)
  • How having a fanbase guarantees a successful launch

Book Marketing and Promotion

It’s getting easier and easier to publish books, but without any promotion to let folks know it exists, you’ll get lost in the crowd. We’ll help you get the word out about your book by:

  • Debunking the 5 most common marketing myths
  • Discovering what makes your book unique but also the importance of “anchoring”
  • Figuring the perfect mix of online and offline promotion for your book and personality
  • How to promote your book (while still having plenty of time to write)
