This was a helpful read, thanks! It's nice to hear there are still ways to promote books that don't involve TikTok. I understand why it's popular, but I don't want to rewire my brain that way. I like being able to pay attention to something for more than 2 minutes.

Thanks! I'll check it out. The last time I wrote a book, you did a blog tour and that was it for online outreach. Simpler times! :)

Love this! I'm often asked about trad vs self publishing in my 1:1s. I'll send them this piece! Thanks for writing it.
