Buckle up for the fastest hour of social media how-to for authors, when the Backspace Writers Conference turns me loose from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm on Friday, May 28th.
I’m bummed that my time slot is up against Karen Dionne’s Agent-Author Relationship panel, featuring Scott Hoffman, Norb Vonnegut, Jeff Kleinman, and Elizabeth Letts, but I figure it’s their bad luck too. (If you guys want a few minutes just grab me in the hallway or at the bar.)
One hour is going to fly by, so this is what you can expect:
1:00-1:10: Setting goals, measuring results and time management
1:11-1:20: How to listen effectively and why
1:21-1:30: Essential Web Presence Components
1:31-1:45: Business Development 101
1:46-1:55: Q&A
Attendees will also walk away with an updated version of my ever-evolving cheat sheet, Social Media Starters for Authors, and one hour of personal coaching whenever they need it.
I’ll see if I can hunt down some sweet freebies too, Like Kodak’s tremendous Social Media Tips guide.
If anybody has any suggestions for must-have social media references or web-based resources, please let me know.

“Should I comment on this blog post? Oh, I really should comment. Do I have the authority to say that? Will I look stupid? Of course not, I know what I’m talking about on this subject. Oh damn, I haven’t blogged in 6 weeks. I can’t have people clicking back to see that. Okay, I’ll write a relevant blog post, then I’ll go back and leave a killer comment. Let me put that on my to-do list. Oh shit, let me put that third on my to-do list right after I take this phone call.”
