I try to listen to podcasts every day at the gym or in my car. After publishing my true crime memoir (Walking Proof) and getting scammed by a so called marketing company, I decided to handle my own marketing on a very tight budget. You’ve given me so many valuable ideas—some have already paid off. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Loved the halloween themed episode - clever! Practical well organised tips - very useful to me! Thanks ladies.
I am a new children’s book author this podcast is my favorite for authors. The topics are always relevant and given with the perfect dose of humor and realism. I’ve already implemented so many strategies for my new book and have seen them pay off! This week it was making a Bo the Boat Spotify playlist 😄 Thank you Penny and Amy!
What I love most about your podcast is that you give actionable ideas that people can do starting today to help market their book. I just listened to your podcast on data and marketing strategies and it didn’t disappoint! The best line that will stick with me for a while was “you have to stay visible so the person has your book top of mind when they are ready to buy a book.“ Brilliant!
Stumbled upon this podcast at the right time. I’m preparing to launch my debut romantic dystopian fantasy in the coming months, and I’ll absolutely be starting a marketing journal now.
