28. Hend Hegazi: How to Market Your Book
Some of the questions we answered were: ย
As an introvert I find that a lot of the marketing advice out there feels inauthentic to me. Like with asking people to share my work or networking at writing events and even social media. How can I market my book in a way which aligns with me?ย ย
Do I have to be on social media to sell my book? ย
Can I relaunch my already released book? How? ย
