Review for Networking for Writers: A fun way to sell more books.
Most of the tips from Networking for Writers (aff. link) are doable and affordable, regardless of your personality, budget, and whatever crisis the world is going through.
I’ve been writing for a while. And I have also been collecting marketing tips for a long time. I still learned a lot from this book. I recommend reading it with a notebook and pen in hand. I’d also read it several times – if not the book in its entirety, then the parts that are new to you and the parts you kind of know but don’t implement consistently.
Her book Networking For Writers (aff. link) is a comprehensive gem that has something to offer you, no matter where you are in your marketing and networking journey.
Recommended, from beginner to advanced, to any author who wants to be more memorable, make more sales, and have a larger network.
Basically, if you’re not in the ranks of Stephen King, you will find it useful.
