Author Writing, Publishing & Marketing Tips
What Michelle is Working on
Let's Talk About Book Marketing (Because I Do A LOT of It!)
I'll admit it. I spend way more time marketing my books than I probably should. In fact, some days I feel more like a full-time book marketer than an actual author!
The good news? All that marketing has helped me sell books.
The bad news? It's not doing much to help me finish writing my next one!
But here's the thing. After spending countless hours researching, experimenting, testing ideas, and figuring out what actually works, I've learned a thing or two about selling books. And I've decided it's time to share what I've learned with other authors.
So, I'm writing a book about book marketing. And it's going to be a big one!
I've read more book marketing books, articles, blogs, and websites than I can count. And while there's some great information out there, I've noticed something frustrating. A lot of marketing advice tells you what you should be doing, but doesn't explain how to actually do it.
You know what I mean. Someone tells you to build an email list, promote your books on social media, or try a new marketing strategy. Sounds great! But where are the step-by-step instructions? How do you get started? What tools do you use? And how do you make it all work without spending a fortune?
That's exactly what I want my book to answer.
I'm putting together a practical, detailed guide filled with real marketing ideas, useful resources, and instructions you can actually follow. Not pages and pages of fluff. Not vague suggestions that leave you scratching your head. Just useful information to help you get your books in front of more readers.
And I've collected so much information that this book might actually turn into two volumes. Apparently, I have a lot to say about marketing!
I haven't settled on a title yet, which is why the book isn't available for pre-order. But I'm working on it, and I'm excited to share it when it's ready.
Want to know when it's available?
Sign up for my author newsletter, and I'll send you a quick email when the book is released.
And don't worry. I'm not going to bombard your inbox with emails every other day. I generally only send out newsletters when I have a new release, something useful to share, or something I think you'll genuinely find interesting.
No endless updates about what I had for breakfast, what I did over the weekend, or what my cat is up to.
Actually, I don't even have a cat.
So you're definitely safe from cat stories. :-)
Happy writing (and marketing)!
