This fall I teach Book Marketing: Online and Offline, a 10-week course at Duke University’s Continuing Education OLLI program. Class starts September 16th.
Earlier this week I had orientation for new instructors. I was happy to learn parking is easy and free, the AV training was successful and my laptop connected perfectly, and the other instructors are fantastic. Super smart people. One day down the road I’d love to take one of the courses myself.
Even if you are not a writer in the Durham, North Carolina area – or you are and can’t attend the daytime class – I will be posting highlights throughout the semester. Here’s the super abbreviated weekly breakdown:
- Creativity, Genres, Process
- A Writer’s Many Roles
- Traditional v. Self Publishing and eBooks
- Not Just Books: Writer Platform
- Book Marketing Online: The Writer’s Website
- Book Marketing Online: Social Media and Apps
- Book Marketing Offline: Events
- Book Marketing for Poets, Novelists, Memoirists
- Writing Goals
- Query Letters
‘Back to school’ in the fall hasn’t meant much to me in 10 years. Now I need to pick out my first day outfit. Hey, the class isn’t called Teach Naked!

I would like more information on writing a memoir. My name is Virginia M Wolff. At the Nimrod conference they suggested instead of calling it my autobiography call it “What it has been like to be Virginia Wolff.” I do not seem to be able to read more on query letters for books for University Presses, and England magazines.
Thanks,
Ginny Wolff
Hi Ginny, Thanks for your comment and apologies for the delay in my response! The title suggestion is a cumbersome choice! Being that your name is so similar to such an iconic historical author, I would be hesitant to focus on your name – it could be misleading to readers. That’s less a question of whether query letters have information about, but your preference for showcasing your work.
