In this episode of Creatively Speaking: Beyond the Binding, we are joined by Stephanie Moon, Founder, Strategist, and Consultant at Steph Moon Co, as we uncover the key components of successful book marketing. Our conversation helps listeners learn how authors can play a crucial role in their own book's success, and move beyond sole reliance on assistance from publishers. This episode covers promotion strategies, self-publishing challenges, and hybrid model opportunities to boost your book's profile. Additionally, Stephanie explains how authors can build an online presence that goes beyond just social media. By developing a platform that fosters real connections and engagement, authors can curate earnest interest in their book while connecting with the readers who are most likely to enjoy their work. We also address common marketing challenges like visibility and perfectionism, and how to overcome them with authenticity and strategy. We also discuss how authors can use their book as a springboard for opportunities, from strategic collaborations to leveraging digital platforms for growth. Sp, whether you're new to marketing or seeking to revive interest in your titles, Stephanie's insights provide a roadmap for sustained success in book promotion.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
