There are hundreds of
books on
book marketing and promotion but 1001
Ways to
Market Your Books is the original. This book spans just over 700 pages. It is filled with information about the realities of the
publishing world (including shockingly honest facts how the New York Bestseller’s list is crafted) helpful hints, and very specific ways to increase book sales. Much of the material in this book is written specifically for publishers. However, usually at the end of sections, the author will include little tip boxes to show the author how to modify this wisdom for his or her own part in the process. For the self-publishing author, this book is doubly valuable. I wrote notes as I read through this book and came up with tons of potential marketing ideas. About the only critique I would offer is that I would have liked to see more low cost ideas. Most authors just don’t have the budget to take advantage of a lot of these tips.
