ake your writing from the page to the stage and into the viral ether with confidence Writing is usually a solitary pursuit. Publishing and promoting a finished work, on the other hand, requires a somewhat more sociable approach. Literary festivals, salons and readings are a great way for new writers to attract the attention of agents and publishers, while book tours and a strong social media presence are promotional mainstays for established authors. If reading out your work to a room full of strangers sounds like the stuff of particularly visceral nightmares, this course is for you. Novelist Paul Burston has conquered his own stage fright to found and host the Polari Literary Salon at London's Southbank, and has been recognised as one of the top 50 tweeters in the UK. Over the course of this lively, inspiring day, he can show you simple tricks to overcome nerves, inject passion into your readings, and even use the experience to make yourself a better writer. He also offers invaluable tips on building a reputation via social media, another crucial skill in engaging your work with a broader community.
