Episode Synopsis

Everyone knows the worst part about selling books is the selling part. That darned author-marketing! So in this episode, we break down a recent post by popular author-marketing guru, Dan Blank, and discuss the difference between being "intentional" and being *integrative*--replacing the agenda-driven drudgery with some creative fun while generating interest in your books.You really can find and craft your authentic voice in today's online world!Also, David has some takeaways from the Independent Booksellers Association conference, and gets a bit personal about my social media posts, as examples of creative marketing that doesn't feel coercive or forced (which was very kind! But I'm not selling books myself yet). Dan Blank's post on Substack: The Creative Shift by Dan Blank (How One Author Found Her Voice Online)And you can follow us too while you're at it: Mick Silva Editing and David R.
