Are you a published author who dreams of escaping your ‘day job,’ but feels discouraged by royalty payments that won’t even cover a cup of coffee?
How do we get readers to buy our books, day after day, after the excitement of the launch has waned?
And how do we attract new readers who aren’t in our current circle of influence?
This concise and action-oriented guide was created as a roadmap to help authors tackle the daunting process of zeroing in on their Ideal Readers, as well as directing and growing their brands.
As an author, the concept of being seen is both delightful and terrifying. There is comfort in anonymity, slipping into the background and letting the words on the page speak for us.
Branding yourself as an author requires you to step out from behind your book to fully engage your audience and develop relationships. This can be a daunting proposition, especially if you are an introvert.
