Here’s every author’s least favorite part: marketing your book.

Most writers are introverts. We don’t want to shout to the rooftops, “buy my book!” Good news. Readers also don’t want you to shout “buy my book!” But you do need to talk about your book. Go on social media and tell us why you’re in love with your story. What makes you stay up all night thinking about the plot. What part of the writing or publishing process are you in right now?

Readers don’t want a sales pitch, but they do want to get to know you. So lean into that, and tell the world about your book so that when it goes up for sale one day, they go ahead and buy it.
