Buzz: The Ultimate Guide To Book Marketing is a must-have resource for indie authors--and traditional authors can benefit from its content.
Packed with a wealth of brainstorming activities, and dos and don’ts resources, it helps target your thinking about the process, and then translate your self-reflection into action for the best marketing practices.
Loaded with insight, the information is detailed in a playful/humorous, humble and supportive yet also assertive/expert tone.
A great addition to my writer's toolbox. One I'll refer to time and again.

Buzz: The Ultimate Guide to Book Marketing by Roseanne Cheng and Dara Beevas is a nicely detailed description of important aspects to consider when trying to sell the book you have worked so long on. I like the tone, which is both informative and encouraging, as well as the pragmatic suggestions and evaluations of the pros and cons of various methods. Not only are there chapters that detail the journey an author should be undertaking at various stages while (and after) writing a book, but there are appendices with samples and suggestions, a detailed index, and references to the company’s website which also has helpful files.
I think this book would be an important resource for any author to consult and it will both guide them through the process of marketing and stimulate brainstorming. It is an overwhelming concept that not only does an author work hard to create a polished book, but THEN the hard work of marketing begins. This title gives concrete suggestions for dealing with that massive task and reminds us to approach it with enthusiasm rather than dread, and to PLAN one’s attack and constantly evaluate the success of various stratagems.

Good intro to a bunch of basic book marketing concepts, complete with worksheets for planning purposes. No book like this will be a "one size fits all" for all different types of book marketing, but if you're just starting out or you need a refresher on getting started, this is a very readable, easy to use guide. Recommended!

Good layout and decent information (especially for newbie authors or seasoned authors looking for a refresher)
