Running Online Book Events with Char McCallum – Authors with Disabilities and Chronic Illnesses Network Meeting

Join us for our next online meet-up on Thursday 25 June from 2pm.

Char McCallum from The Tandem Collective is joining ADCI to talk about the work The Tandem Collective does in creating events and campaigns to build buzz and reader interaction for book launches, amongst other things. Char will help shine a light on what goes into a successful online launch or event, with tips on what authors can do to help raise the profile of their books before, during and after publication. 

ADCI has been working to help the publishing industry appreciate the opportunities and untapped market of people who can’t or don’t get to in person events as it’s an area we understand better than most. This session will delve into more ways to reach readers like us. 

The Tandem Collective is a team of passionate freelancers, with a range of skills spanning social media, events, project management, video, podcast, web and graphic design.
