Is this you?? If it is… give me a wave! 🙋🏼♀️
You’re in the right place. I know some authors love the marketing side of it all - and that’s great! But isn’t it ENOUGH that you wrote a whole ass book??
I mean, that’s skill.
Seriously. Respect.
But if you’re a teensy bit grumpy about now having to make instagram posts and film Reels and write captions and newsletters and… and… and… everything else AS WELL 🫠 Well, honestly I don’t blame you!
I just want you know:
a. I think it is OUTRAGEOUSLY unfair
b. You are a total rockstar
c. This account is ALL about making the author marketing side of things a little easier for you. So you can do the fun stuff (like connect with readers)… without sacrificing all the important stuff (actually writing your book)!
Drop a 🙋🏼♀️ or a 👋 or even a 🌊 in the comments if you’re a busy or overwhelmed writer who could do with a little support on the social media/marketing side ↓
I’M REALLY GLAD YOU’RE HERE!
