June 5 question - In this constantly evolving industry, what kind of offering/service do you think the IWSG should consider offering to members?
Why are you asking me to do this "thinking" stuff so early in the day? It's still three minutes before the crack of noon! 😉
Anyway, I've narrowed it down to a list of ten items.
1. Book marketing and promotional services
2. Author branding and platform building
3. Manuscript editing and proofreading
4. Publishing consultation and guidance
5. Industry networking opportunities
6. Book cover design and formatting services
7. Distribution and sales support
8. Author website and social media management
9. Reader engagement strategies
10. Book launch event planning
11. Copyright and legal assistance for authors
12. Self-publishing support and resources
13. Author workshops and training programs
14. Translation and foreign rights representation
15. Author mentorship programs
You could compile a bank of volunteers and also a directory listing professionals who specialize in the above services. For instance, I am a line and copy editor who is a member of ACES. Volunteering my services would help me connect with potential repeat clients, so it would be a win-win situation.
In the meantime, anyone who is interested can check out my services and prices through the following link.
