Kathleen found that marketing her book was difficult.

“Marketing a book is a huge challenge (may I say painful?)”

Her marketing efforts included creating her own website, having a presence on Facebook, joining her local Gulf Coast Writers group, participating in local fairs and holding discussions at local stores.

Kathleen found that the best way to market and sell more books was to use in person events where she was invited to speak.

“My book sells best when I am invited to speak to groups or lead discussions on a specific topic.”

Kathleen decided to include the Book Excellence Awards in her marketing plan.

The program stood out to her as it offered guidance and support in the book marketing process.

“The people who run the awards seem genuinely interested in the writers. They continue to care about the authors and try to help them be successful.”

The award also provided an advantage during in person events.
