Market your niche book #SelfPubCon2019

Marketing books is hard, marketing niche books is even harder. But Jane Friedman is going to show you how to do just that. This session will explain how to modify your strategy and market your niche book.

Indie authors are often counseled to produce a high volume of work, price competitively, do giveaways, and advertise. But if you're a literary author, you might find these strategies either impossible or ineffective. This session addresses how you can modify the usual indie author marketing advice for a more realistic and successful approach, whether you write novels, short stories, or poetry.

•  Authors will learn to understand standard best practices for marketing indie work and how/whey it can differ from marketing literary work.
• Authors will learn how to adapt commercial marketing methods to suit their own personalities and more literary audiences.
• Authors will learn about other successful indie authors in the literary community.
