I’m an author. Now what?

The biggest challenge for book authors is transitioning from being a writer to being an author. They may sound like the same thing, but they are two totally different occupations.

Many first-time authors have the mindset that once they are published, their publisher handles all marketing, and the sales come in like magic. In today’s world, that is not reality… no matter how you are published. In order to be successful, you have to take an active role in promoting your book (and yourself).

What ‘Book Marketing for Authors’ offers

We understand how hard (and intimidating) it can be to draw attention to your book. Most writers aren’t comfortable with self-promotion, nor do they know how to do it effectively.

The creators of this newsletter — all of whom are published authors themselves —have extensive experience in book marketing. They’ve successfully navigated (and continue to navigate) the rough waters of book and brand promotion.

They’re here to share their knowledge with you.
