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.
Amy and Penny have such a depth and range of knowledge about the publishing field, I’ve learned that whatever topic they’re discussing this week I’ll learn relevant information and pick up new insights. I’m not convinced my books are the right fit for movies, and yet the range of applications they sketched out for “elevator pitches” has me eager to hear that episode. There are valuable nuggets of wisdom in every show.
