About the author

Polly Letofsky is best known for being the first woman to walk around the world. It took five years to complete her walk and another six years to write the book about her journey.

After a series of bad choices in her publishing endeavors, she launched into a deep dive to study the industry. The results were six national awards for her book, 3mph: The Adventures of One Woman’s Walk Around the World, and the eventual beginning of My Word! Publishing, a self-publishing project management and consulting business.

Everyone asks me how I got such a quick grasp of marketing my book and without skipping a beat I send them the link to BUZZ. It was given to me on loan when I signed my first publishing contract. When it came time to give it back, I bought my own copy.

I went from being 100% unknown author to mastering SEO and making the first page of google with my author name. I learned about Goodreads, amazon author profiles and even how to set up my own website.

Even traditional authors have to do the bulk of marketing their books. I cannot stress how helpful BUZZ is.

This book is an essential roadmap, a complete plan to successfully marketing your creation. You can read it before your book is published, while you are in the process of marketing (whether or not you have professional marketing help), or at any time afterwards to find a different angle or technique that you might have missed. It will become obvious that it is built on years of the author's experience and will keep you from making expensive newbie mistakes. Highly recommended!

Whether you are a first time publishing author or have self-published before, this workbook is chocked full of websites, suggestions and promotional guidelines. I have used it again and again in my process of promoting my books. A wonderful tool no author should be without.
