  1. Book PR & Marketing: Articles to Help You Manage Expectations

    Many of my new business calls focus on:

    The differences between marketing and PR
    What does media/PR for an author look like
    Why reviews are hard to come by
    What leads to sales
    Fact vs. fiction in terms of book tours
    Why advertising doesn’t directly sell books but why you should still do it
    Why social media isn’t for everyone and building a platform takes a long time
    Why the word viral should be used minimally
    Why I can’t promise one’s book will be a BookTok sensation

    Here are a few articles in recent months that every writer should carefully read.

  5. Virtual Event - #BookDiscussion of “The #Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World”

    February 12 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

    "Join us for a virtual book discussion of 'The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World,' by #RobinWallKimmerer.

    Free. Registration Required."

    About the author:
    "As Indigenous scientist and author of #BraidingSweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from #IndigenousWisdom and the plant world to #reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, #interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth—its abundance of sweet, juicy berries—to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution ensures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, 'Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency.' "
