October 20, 2024 — Transforming Your Website from Blah to Boss
Our October, 2024 monthly meeting will start at 1:00 P.M. with a workshop on transforming your author website, presented by Nate Hoffhelder, which will be followed by our general business and social meeting. Not a NERW member but want to attend the workshop? Join NERW now and receive access to our monthly workshops, private email forum, and Facebook group!
Workshop Description: An author’s website is their online office and storefront, but it doesn’t have to be a stodgy one. In this session, you will learn how, with just a little work, you can rapidly transform your author website from blah to boss. A good website doesn’t have to cost thousands of dollars; your site can be as simple as a single page and still present a professional face to reviewers and help you connect with fans. It all starts with knowing what you want to do, and why. Note: This session will have time for a Q&A, so please bring your questions.
Bio: Nate has been helping people fix broken tech since 2010. He turns broken down WordPress sites into sites which convert visitors into superfans, also builds sites from scratch, and helps authors with their social media and newsletters. When he’s not working with authors, Nate volunteers on the board of the Florida Writers Foundation and with several SF cons. When he is not volunteering, he writes bad jokes on Twitter and creates memes and graphics. In his spare time, Nate hand-raises budgies and maintains three Little Free Libraries.
