If you're tired of posting about your book, switch things up and post about ONE thing you love about your book...
💙 Is it a character?
💙 Is it a location?
💙 Is it a go-to drink that sparks your creative urge to write?
Share that instead, because people respond to happiness!

❌ Don't do in-person events if crowds make you uncomfortable.
❌ Don't do YouTube if you hate being on camera.

Are cover endorsements necessary?
It depends...
📘 Will it add credibility to your book?
📘 Is the endorser's name easily recognizable by your ideal reader?
📘 Will you need to redesign your cover if you add an endorsement?
📘 Will the endorsement arrive before your pub date?
