April 2026: Visual Storytelling for Authors with Teresa Hnat
A strong visual brand doesn't just make you look good online — it actively helps you sell more books and attract more opportunities. In this presentation, Teresa Hnat, a brand photographer and visual storytelling strategist, will show authors how to use professional photos and video to build a brand that words as hard as they do. You’ll learn the key images every author needs, where and how to use them across your website and social media, and how to turn your visual presence into a powerful marketing tool. Your book tells a story. Your brand should too.

May 2026: Post-Publication Presence: How to Stay Present without Burning Out
with Karlyn Ankrom
Most nonfiction authors put everything into launch day, only to feel stuck and unsure of what to post once the confetti settles. Karlyn walks you through a simple post-publication system that turns the content you've already written into consistent, relevant weekly visibility. Authors will learn how to use one page of their book to spark ongoing stories that grow their authority and keep their message working long after launch.
1. Attendees will learn a repeatable method for turning a single page of their book into multiple meaningful content ideas.
2. They’ll understand how to shape those stories for the right audience so their message reaches future readers, clients, and opportunities.
3. They’ll walk away with a sustainable content rhythm that keeps them consistent without burnout or guesswork.
About Karlyn: Karlyn Ankrom is the founder of Oh Snap! Social and creator of the Expert Excellence Engine, a strategic content program designed specifically for nonfiction authors. Her program helps authors turn their books from “expensive business cards” into consistent, engaging content that attracts the right audience, builds authority, and drives business results. The Expert Excellence Engine really shines after a book is launched, giving authors the tools, strategy, and confidence to keep their message working for them—whether their book came out three days ago or three years ago.

February 2026: LinkedIn for Authors with Natasha Walstra
Your book deserves more than a launch strategy—it deserves a movement, readers who become ambassadors, and the impact you wrote it for. LinkedIn is where that happens. Not through hoping people find you, but through showing up consistently, sharing generously, and building genuine relationships. Natasha Walstra, founder of NearPoint Strategies, will show how to make LinkedIn work for us. You can watch my recent interview with her here.
