Author Websites & Social Media Lisa Angle & Matt Pallamary. This Monday afternoon panel from June 19, 2023 discussed how to deploy an effective book marketing plan and how to design an author website that is integrated social media strategies.

 Lisa worked as stage crew for Ensemble Theatre, produced a weekly newsletter for the Santa Barbara County Film Commission (2004-08), and written articles for Montecito Journal, The Independent, and Examiner.com. As a Production Assistant at The Santa Barbara Channels (now TVSB) she learned video production, and produced videos for Association for Women in Communications, the SB Zoo, and the SB Writers Conference, plus she co-produced over 200 episodes of the talk show Literary Gumbo. Storytelling through film became very important to her. Her Ablitt House Journey documentary is available for free streaming, and the Thirty Years of Literary Excellence documentary. She served on the national board for the Association for Women in Communications (2014-19) and currently serves as the Chief Technology Officer for the Writers and Publishers Network.

Matt’s historical novel, Land Without Evil, received rave reviews along with a San Diego Book Award and was adapted into a magical stage and sky show, which was the subject of an EMMY nominated episode of a PBS series, “Arts in Context.” Matt has taught a Phantastic Fiction workshop at the Southern California Writers’ Conference, the Santa Barbara Writers’ Conference, and numerous other venues for over 25 years. His memoir, Spirit Matters, took first place in the San Diego Book Awards Spiritual Book Category. He frequently visits the jungles, mountains, and deserts of North, Central, and South America pursuing his studies of shamanism and ancient cultures.
