Author Marketing

Author Marketing – Chuck Waldron, Manager of Marketing

Marketing is a big word. If you are a business, you know you can’t survive long without it.

Writing is a business, too. If you don’t actively seek out, engage and grow your audience (market), no one will ever know you even exist as an author. For many new authors, the thought of marketing is intimidating. Even many long-standing authors don’t like this aspect of the business, but they know it’s unavoidable. Author marketing is a necessity in the increasingly competitive world of publishing and self-publishing.

Publishing houses know this too. If you manage to land a contract with a publishing house, do not expect them to do the marketing for you! They will tell you what to do, tell you where you have to be and what you have to do. And if they don’t? Well, then they are doing nothing to help you market your book, and your sales won’t help you become independent in your writing career.
