Tag: Book Marketing
This tag collects the writing on how books actually find readers — the half of the job that begins after the manuscript is done. It covers handbooks and articles on book promotion, author platform, email lists, Substack, lead magnets, and proposals, drawn from a working author’s own practice rather than recycled advice. The focus is what moves copies for real writers on real budgets, not theory. The collection expands as more marketing material is published.
