Self-marketing your book

Why self-market?

Even large publishers offer little marketing for

authors, unless the author is famous or sales are very promising. Publicists are VERY expensive.

The difference between marketing and publicity:

• Marketing is what YOU do.

• Publicity is what others do for you.
