Hazel Longuet submitted Book Promotion: Networking for Introverts posted at A Novel Experience, saying, “These days authors must self-market their books for any chance of success and that involves a huge amount of networking – for those introverts amongst us that is painful but it needn’t be. With these simple steps even the most introverted can participate in the marketing field comfortably.”

Erica Verrillo submitted How to Build Your Own Author Platform – From Scratch posted at Publishing… And Other Forms of Insanity, saying, “You must start building your platform well in advance of contacting an agent or publishing your book. Achieving a following takes several years, But even if your name is not a household word by the time you publish, you can set the stage for future fame.”
