This week’s episode is for the author saying, “Help! I’m afraid no one will buy my book!” While you don’t need thousands of followers before launching, there are plenty of ways to establish relationships with readers pre-launch so they’re already invested by the time your book goes live.
In this conversation, author María Pérez-Gómez shares how she got the word out about her book before it launched, and how that effort translated into post-publication sales, book signings, and media features. She also shares insights on social media persistence, tips for media coverage, and making calls that will open doors for yourself.
María’s book, The Magical Closet Mystery: A Puerto Rican Adventure, is now available in Spanish as El misterio del clóset mágico: una aventura puertorriqueña. You can get your copy of either book here, visit María’s website at themagicalclosetmysteries.com, and follow her on Instagram at @themagicalclosetmystery.
