Quickstart

Confused about building an audience for your books?

 
 

As you may have heard (and lamented), these days it’s up to authors to market their own books.

Traditional publishers simply don’t offer decent marketing support to anyone but A-list authors.

And if you’re going the indie-publishing route, everything is on your shoulders.

But too many authors — whether traditional or indie — just don’t know where to start.

Many get bogged down in tactics.

They try Twitter, they try a new cover, they try Facebook ads, but nothing seems to actually sell books.

They want to do right by their books and give them the best chance in the world.

But they don’t want to be “salesy” or take away from their creative time.

If this sounds like you, i’d love to help
