These days, authors are expected to hit the ground running – demonstrating knowledge, energy and commitment in areas such as online networking, author branding, delivering high-impact events and dealing with the media in a confident and informed way. Author Profile is a new training company run by Justin Somper, author and publicist, and Phillip Norman, an expert in learning and development. Author Profile is committed to sharing industry experience and fast-tracking authors over all the kinds of hurdles they are likely to encounter in today’s fast-changing publishing industry. Training is typically conducted in small groups within publishing houses, although one-on-one and out-of-house training is also available. All Author Profile training is geared towards helping authors shape their own careers more proactively than ever before and change how they feel about the author/publisher partnership in a very constructive way.
