![Debut Diaries: All About Events (Virtual) [CC]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zquWQSsUmu4/mqdefault.jpg "Debut Diaries: All About Events (Virtual) [CC]
In this episode of Debut Diaries, I share all the things Ive learned about virtual events during my debut year from getting them booked, to organizing them yourself, and also dive into my personal experience.
TIMESTAMPS
00:00-1:42 Introduction
01:42-07:21 How to Get Booked for Events
07:21-15:01 How to Organize Your Own Events
15:01-18:35 How to Find Where to Pitch Yourself
18:35-32:44 My Personal Experience with Events This Year
32:44-46:39 Tips and Tricks for Doing Events
*Belatedly realized a bit of text I put on screen was cut off. It’s at 17:51 where I chat about pitching yourself to events and says “You don’t need to say trad pub or self pub, I just said this automatically because it’s the way I intro these videos. But sometimes people do only work with trad pub, in which case it may be relevant.
