Your book is getting published. Congratulations. Once you’ve celebrated, you may find yourself wondering how to get it into readers’ hands without spending every waking hour promoting yourself.
In this workshop, Kerry will talk through the parts of DIY book publicity that can feel especially confusing: what to post on Instagram and TikTok, how to approach BookTokkers and Bookstagrammers, and what bookstores need to know when you pitch an event. She’ll cover useful practices, common time sinks, and ways to make requests that respect both your time and the other person’s.
Kerry will draw on her experience publicizing her own book without a publicist and her involvement with the Poets & Writers Get the Word Out publicity incubator. The goal is to leave with a clearer sense of where to put your energy and how to connect with readers in a way that feels like you.
