Writing your dream book is possible! Publishing that book may be challenging, but it is not entirely out of reach. However, getting your book noticed and purchased by the public is an entirely different story.
There are far better ways to publicize your book than displaying your manuscript on the bookstore’s shelf and hoping people will notice, purchase, and read your work.
Before you formalize any deal with your book publisher or fully tread on the traditional publication path, you may want to first leverage the power of publicity.
You may have passionately written a topic from your expertise or crafted a narrative with unique plot twists. For sure, you would have high hopes for their publication and consumption.
However, when your ‘masterpieces’ do not offer any connection or solution to your audience or if they lack the necessary exposure, it may be prudent for you to take action on what our guest expert for this podcast will share with you.
Our podcast guest, Angela Engel, offers us insights and inspiration on how certain PR activities can elevate independent book authors and their works to a pedestal worthy of attention and publication.
“Everybody wants to write a book, but not everyone's an author. How are you an author? Especially in the nonfiction space, which is what I do. You have to find solutions for others. The best nonfiction books find the solution for others they serve.”
-Angela Engel
