Blogger's meetup & book launch in Berlin: 12 Nov!
Save the date everyone! On Saturday, November 12, 2011 from 14:00-18:00 at the Soho House in Berlin me and my friends will throw a lovely party for bloggers, fans of blogging, or simply those blog-curious who love networking online and are interested in meeting like-minded people. This event will also honor the release of my best selling interiors book, Decorate, in German under the title, Lust auf Wohnen.
I'm very excited to invite all of you because Brigitte magazine is the official sponsor and they are doing so much to show support of me, decor8, blogger's and of course, my new book. I am very honored by this! They have some lovely things in store for guests and I can't wait to share all of that with you when you arrive. Fun, fun!
I'm also excited about the Berlin blogger's party and book launch because I doubt after this I'll be doing any signings for awhile since I need to begin work on my next book that will take months to produce. So, this is it for Germany for the time being.
If you want a chance to meet me and all of my lovely friends, mingle, and learn then join us. In addition to Brigitte, my other great sponsors will be at the event to share information on blogging, how to get your work into magazines, how to become an author and what publishers look for (and what scares them away!), promoting your business online and more!
Who can you learn from?
Holly Becker - Me! I'll be sharing my story as to how I got into blogging in the first place, then I'll talk about my book and the inspiration behind it and then I'll give tips on how budding authors can communicate their vision to their publisher in a professional manner and how to be taken seriously when you do! I'll also discuss some ideas for promoting yourself - whether it's a book, blog, your shop, etc.!
Stefanie Luxat, Brigitte managing editor and uber blogger from Ohhh Mhhh, will share her personal experience as a blogger, then she'll discuss how Brigitte is embracing the world of blogging and what they are currently doing to promote bloggers and then of course, she'll be talking about how those looking to get their work into magazines can approach editors with lots of great tips and tricks.
Caroline Ditting will speak on behalf of my German publisher, Callwey Verlag, about book publishing and why they decided to add me to their list of authors and translate it for the German market (I'm particularly interested in learning this myself!). They'll also talk about how to get your book idea in front of a publisher and what works along with what does not!
Matthew Stinchcomb, the European Director of Etsy.com who is from Brooklyn but now lives in Berlin. He'll talk about building your brand online and how to sell your products through online sites like Etsy and how to become part of an online community - he is so passionate on these topics and the perfect person to educate you being from America's most successful online independent shopping website.
This event will be in German and English so prepare to speak and think in two languages as we're going to be quite an mixed group on November 12th!

I'd be so happy if the Brigitte magazine could consider to launch another event in Düsseldorf.
Have lots of fun!

But Holly, I am seriously considering coming to Berlin for this one...It sounds so tempting!
