How to build an author brand that is bigger than one book
Where social media fits alongside your newsletter, website, events, reader relationships, and other visibility efforts
How to determine whether the time you’re giving social media is actually worth it

July’s Workshop:
Podcasting for Authors with Marlen Kakkori - July 15, 2026 @ 1 pm CST (virtual)
Your book deserves more than a launch…it deserves a microphone.
If you’ve ever thought:
🎙️ “I’d love to be a podcast guest, but I don’t know where to start.”
🎙️ “How do authors actually get invited onto podcasts?”
🎙️ “How do I turn podcast interviews into book sales and new clients?”
This workshop is for you.
Marlen Kakkori is the creator of the Podcast Interview Leverage Method and the founder of Marlen Marketing. She helps authors, coaches, consultants, and business owners turn podcast guest appearances into authority, partnerships, referrals, and clients. Over the past 6 years, she has helped clients secure hundreds of podcast interviews and build visibility through strategic podcast guesting.
What can you actually do with a newsletter and how does it add value to myself AND my reader community?
Every author (should) know about the importance of a newsletter, but actually setting one up for good business purpose, with that vision in mind, is not widely known.
This workshop will help you create a vision (and strategize it to move forward with aligned action) for your email list. You’ll learn not only the importance of a newsletter, but also how to leverage it as a true connection tool and an essential aspect of your sales funnel.

USA Today bestselling author Anthea Sharp grew up in an enchanted forest, and the library was her second home. Later, she discovered that books weren’t the only portals to magical worlds, and she spent several years immersed in computer games. Unsurprisingly, her bestselling Feyland series is a portal fantasy, where a high-tech game opens a gateway to the treacherous Realm of Faerie. She’s currently writing the Darkwood Chronicles, a series rich in fairytale elements, secret magic, and a touch of romance.
In addition to the fae fantasy/cyberpunk mashup of Feyland, she also writes Victorian Spacepunk and fantasy romance. Her short fiction has appeared in Fiction River, DAW anthologies, The Future Chronicles, and Beyond The Stars: At Galaxy’s Edge, as well as many other publications.
Anthea lives in the Pacific Northwest, where she writes, hangs out in virtual worlds, plays the fiddle with her Celtic band Fiddlehead, and spends time with her small-but-good family.
