DIY marketing tools for Maine authors who'd rather be writing than promoting
You wrote the book. Now comes the part most writers quietly dread: figuring out how to promote it without feeling awkward, pushy, or overwhelmed.
Today, no matter how you’re published—traditional, indie, or hybrid—most publishers expect you to do your own publicity and promotion in order to successfully sell your books.
Yet, pivoting to promotion also takes years of mastering—and all you wanted to do is write! Not learn Marketing 101.
I've spent the last 20 years in the media (on both sides as an author and as a journalist), and I've done the work so you don't have to.
DIY Book Marketing for Maine Authors provides affordable, DIY templates, tools, and low-cost resources that help authors—especially those 40+—act as their own publicist and confidently pitch Maine media, bookstores, libraries, and events.
Designed for authors who want:
• A clear plan they can follow at their own pace
• An introvert-friendly, low-tech approach
• DIY tools they can customize
• Affordable, practical, reusable resources
