Using Tech for Book Marketing

Kate Gingold from Sprocket WebsitesKate has been building websites with her husband Don since 1996 for all sorts of clients, including authors.

Kate regularly writes about online marketing for Sprocket Websites and provides tips and techniques for entrepreneurs and small-business owners. Since being an author today is not really different from being an entrepreneur with a small business, most of those tips are just as useful to authors.

Kate is an author herself. She writes books on local history, including the award-winning "Ruth by Lake and Prairie," a fictionalized account of the true story of Great Lake pioneering to the shores of Chicago and beyond to found Naperville, Illinois.

Oswego Literary Festival

Saturday, October 7

Kate will be attending the sixth annual Oswego Public Library Literary Fest on Saturday, October 7, from 9:00a until 1:00p. 

Last year's event featured over two dozen authors set up at tables in the library to talk about their work and sell books. There was a wide range of genres showcased and it's always a great networking event for the authors as well as for readers. Please come and support your local authors!

In addition to authors and books, last year's event also included some local student musicians, a couple of presentations and a used book sale. From the information available on the library's calendar, it appears that it will be a similar event this year so there's something for everyone!
