its.verdex
Description
It’s the topic every author seems to love to hate: self-promotion. Sharing our work on social media, pitching ourselves to podcasts and reaching out to friends and colleagues to ask them to boost us up in various ways can feel hard—but it shouldn’t. It’s part of the deal—and the people around you don’t mind. In fact, they want to know when you have a new book or article out, especially if you’re a regular and generous supporter of the good work the people around you are doing as well.<br/><br/>We talk about getting past the emotional hurdle here, and then we talk about the how best to get the job done—best practices for self-promotion and a lovely list of “Glamour Don’ts” for those who are worried about getting it wrong. <br/><br/>Links from the Podcast<br/><br/><a href="https://www.sharelinkgenerator.com/">sharelinkgenerator</a><br/><br/>#AmReading<br/><br/>Sarina: <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780316198691">What Happens Next</a> by Colleen Clayton<br/><br/>KJ: <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781250266491">A Star is Bored</a> by Byron Lane<br/><br/>Jess: <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780393356687">The Overstory</a> by Richard Powers<br/><br/>Have you checked out Author Accelerator’s Book Coach training at <a href="https://authoraccelerator.teachable.com/?affcode=27214_mac6fkqu">bookcoaches.com/amwriting</a>?
