May 19th Speaker: BJ Bourg

Marketing for Self-Publishing

In this presentation, BJ Bourg will speak about self-publishing, marketing, and the strategy that led him to become an Amazon best-selling author in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Not only will he detail his journey from a non-published author to being traditionally published, but he’ll also explain what led him to start self-publishing, why he no longer pursues traditional publishing, and what marketing strategies were a waste of his time. Additionally, he’ll share his actual historical sales figures and the step-by-step process he went through to earn six figures in fourteen months as an unknown author.

Not only does he know his way around crime scenes, interrogations, and courtrooms, but he also served as a police sniper commander (earning the title of “Top Shooter” at an FBI sniper school) and a police academy instructor.
