Marketing Your Book

Firstly, let’s look at why you should market your book. As you are self-publishing your manuscript, you are responsible for the actual marketing of your book, so if you don’t do it, no one will!

    “But I don’t like selling and I have never sold anything to anyone in my life,” I hear you say.

Don’t worry, almost all authors, whether they’re self-published or not, have been and probably will always be in the same boat as you. You are a writer and not a salesperson. However, the best person to promote your work is you.

You obviously believe your book is of some value because you have spent hours upon hours writing, rewriting and editing it to make the story, characters and settings of as much interest to the reader as you can. You have then spent more time and money trying to get literary agents and publishers to read your book in order to have your work published. The reason you want your book published is because you feel that what you have written is worth it.
