Instagram. <a href="https://www.canva.com">Canva</a>. <a href="https://www.picmonkey.com">PicMonkey</a>. <a href="https://crello.com">Crello</a>. Pinterest. Linked In. Head blowing up yet? We talk about planning your launch social media, how to use social media and image-creating apps to share and promote and why you shouldn&#8217;t feel one bit like you&#8217;re talking about your book too much when you&#8217;re launching it into the world.<br/><br/>We also fall apart a bit, here and there, because these are falling apart times, and we feel it.<br/><br/>#AmReading<br/><br/>KJ: <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780735219090">Where the Crawdads Sing</a> by Delia Owens<br/><br/>Jess: <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781400031702">The Secret History</a> by Donna Tartt<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780525509288">How to Be an AntiRacist</a> by Ibram X Kendi<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780312427733">Middlesex</a> by Jeffrey Eugenides<br/><br/>Sarina: <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781541736122">Pale Rider</a> Laura Spinney<br/><br/>Don&#8217;t forget to check in with our sponsor, Author Accelerator. They&#8217;ve got a special book coaching class happening in June on coaching historical fiction, which I would love to be a fly on the wall for&#8212;as well as introductory and master classes on book coaching, and, as always, the ability to match you with just the right book coach to help you move your work forward.<br/><br/>As for us&#8212;we send out a MiniSode or a Writer Top Five every Monday to our supporters. Your support pays for the production and transcription of the podcast, and is the reason why, this week, you don&#8217;t also hear my conversation with the child who walked in while we&#8217;re recording.
