I know where you’re coming from as I hear you loud and clear. Marketing is the bane of every creative’s existence. We create because we have to whether it be for the joy or the exercise or exorcising properties.
I published two books of poetry that fell on deaf ears, and I just gave up trying to market them because I have to work and there’s only so many hours in a day. I stopped caring about writing poetry, and I know that may not be a good thing, but it is what it is. I’m enjoying reading more now. I write reviews when I’m compelled to, and share my writing and editing knowledge as an editor.
If your book is about the paranormal, Jason, count me in! I find that stuff very interesting. I’m wishing you the very best with its launch! I know what it takes to sell books—it sure isn’t easy!
Thank you very much for the kind words. I went all out to splurge on a cover designer for this and I honestly can’t afford to do this type of book again but I figured I would do it right at least once and hope for the best. I won’t ever stop writing but it’ll probably just be for myself and whatever micro audience I build haha
I’ll look forward to seeing your cover! A beautiful book cover is worth its weight in gold, though. I think that with regular effort on Substack, we can actually build quite an impressive micro audience.
