I recently attended the Taylor University Professional Writers Conference in Upland, IN. There, I had the pleasure of connecting with authors and editors, agents and publicists. I sat with authors as they asked me what they should do—should they self publish? Should they try for an agent? Should they work with a hybrid publisher? What if they had no budget?...

What an absolute BLAST this conference has been. From deep dives into how to improve your craft to connecting with industry professionals, I feel so invigorated in my writing career. I’m leaving with direction for my own edits and a fresh perspective on the options and paths available in this industry and the work it takes to get there. This has been such an important conference for me this year.

Is it worth it to market your book at a discount?
It surprises me how often authors come to me and ask “Is it worth it to market my book?” Approaching a book marketer and asking that is like asking a baker if it’s worth it to try a new cake. The answer is always going to be yes. But this doesn’t stem from greed or a desire for authors to pour all their life savings into marketing only to make a small amount of it back. This instinct to market your book stems from the understanding of a very simple formula:
More books sold (or given away) = Higher chance of reader follow through
High reader follow through = High buzz and word of mouth marketing
