What it is, is a low-cost, unconventional kind of promotion that uses your own creativity to market yourself and your books. This guide will help you embrace marketing, and fall in love with self-promotion. No, really. I promise you will love it. And want to spend time doing it. These easy techniques, perfected by a true nerdy novelist (*waves*), will show you how to become a guerilla marketer, as well as spark your creativity, nurturing that marketing monkey inside every writer.

Reviews

[Amber Lemus · Rating 3 out of 5]

The main gist of the book is pretty simple. Don't limit your thinking to traditional marketing methods. Think outside the box!

I was expecting more concrete and applicable advice. It does offer a few ideas, but I didn't find much I could really walk away with.

It's a good book. But it wasn't my missing link.

Also some mild language in there.

A lot of fun ideas in here that got my creative mind racing with the possibilities. Plus, the writer's humorous and conversational tone made this one of the most enjoyable books on marketing that I've read.
