Join author and workshop facilitator Kirsten McKenzie for a practical, confidence building session designed to help writers strengthen their online presence without feeling overwhelmed or sales driven.

In an industry where visibility matters (more than it used to), this workshop focuses on how to show up authentically online in ways that support your writing life and long term career. Whether you are just starting out or already published, you will learn how to make your existing platforms work harder for you, with clarity and intention.

This workshop will cover:

• Understanding what an effective author presence actually is

• Choosing the right platforms for your goals, energy, and audience

• Creating content that feels genuine, sustainable, and aligned with your voice

• Simple strategies for consistency without burnout

• How online presence supports opportunities such as events, media, and readers finding your work

You will leave with practical tools, renewed confidence, and a clearer sense of how to engage online in a way that feels manageable and true to you.

This workshop is suitable for writers at all stages and across all genres.

Presented as part of the 2026 Ages of Pages event in Hamilton.
