PROMOTING YOUR BOOK
No matter if you are with a big publishing house, a small press, self-published, internet, print-on-demand or seeking publishing, you must understand how to promote your own book. As a relative unknown in the publishing world (either publishing your first book or even a second book without a large selling track record) you will be largely ignored when it comes to marketing. This applies to all aspects of publishing from big publishers to printing-on-demand. It is necessary to know how market yourself.
