Review:
So, you've written a book. Congratulations! That's no small thing. Lots of people talk about writing a book. Some even start, but you finished! Now what? That's right. I asked you about your next step. I don't want to be a downer, but writing the book was the easy part. Not to worry. Babs has some helpful tips, hints, and answers for those sort of questions.
This is a short, easy to read manual of what to do after you type The End. PR and marketing are essential to getting your book to sell. She provides information helpful to authors of every genre and skill level. With a few time saving tricks, you can get ready to blog tour, book sign, and promote yourself and your book. Remember, the book is the product. You're the brand! And Babs helps you market both!
I liked the short format with layman's terms. It's clear Babs is a veteran in the publishing world, but she doesn't overwhelm the reader with heavy, inside jargon. The information is sound marketing advice and provided with examples, making it perfect for the novice author on a budget. This as must have addition to any author's digital reference shelf. I'm giving Babs 4.5 stars for this insider gem!
