Effective Book Marketing for Any Author
Whether traditionally published or self-published, every author must give some thought to book marketing. But given how fast tools and techniques change, and how hard it is to attract attention, it can be challenging to figure out what’s worthwhile to focus on. Plus what worked for another author’s book launch won’t necessarily work for you.
In this live webinar taught by publishing industry expert Jane Friedman, you’ll learn the key foundations of every book marketing campaign but also how to develop a personalized framework that’s appropriate to your strengths and abilities. Fortunately, most book marketing isn’t about having a big bankroll, but having sufficient time and energy to devote to it, consistently, over time. Few authors truly lack marketing opportunities; most lack sufficient focus and patience to pursue those opportunities, or feel overwhelmed by the task and end up doing nothing at all.
