Craft Chat with Elle Nash: Marketing Your Small Press Book

Join Elle Nash, the author of "Deliver Me," for a craft chat and live Q&A!

Details

Imagine for a moment, if you will, that your first, or even your third or fourth, book is coming out. You're working with an independent press, possibly a press without their own marketing team, and you want it to do "well." You want it to reach readers, however that may be. Where do you start? What is it like working with a small press to promote your book? Let's chat about the basics of doing your own marketing and PR, building a platform, how to pitch yourself, how to research leads to send your galleys to, and how to balance what YOU do as an author versus what the publisher can do for you.


In this craft chat, we will cover:

• What it's like to work with small presses
• The best marketing timeline for launching a book
• Crafting pitch lists for bloggers, booktokkers, magazines etc
• Finding features/essay angles in your work
• Building your platform via social media
• Finding festivals & pitching IRL events
• If hiring a publicist is worth it
