Sell More Books and Connect with Your Readers!

You don’t need a degree in Marketing to sell your book. (Heck! You don’t even need to be a computer whiz.) All you need is working knowledge of who your readers are.

If the idea of selling makes your skin crawl, don’t worry. You can be authentic to yourself and skip the sleasy sales pitch, while still selling your book.
