The world of book marketing is in constant flux. I’m on a mission to share what I learn with other authors. Join me if you’d like.
Join the Inner Circle of Book Marketing Advice
At the end of every month I make notes on what I’ve learned about book marketing: new things I’ve encountered, experiments run, lessons learned. Then I share those thoughts with my friends on this list. If you’re interested in those geeky details, sign up here.
I love how Author Lessons keeps my head in the book marketing game. Anne Janzer helps me stay current on book marketing news and offers helpful tidbits of advice that feel doable. I feel less alone in this never-ending marathon to support my book.
Book Marketing Coaching
Want to talk through your nonfiction book marketing issues with someone? Trying to prepare for a launch? I do monthly book marketing consultation/coaching engagements with authors. Book a short consultation to see if it’s a fit.
