5 More Ways for Writers to Market Themselves
There are two schools of thought on marketing and writing. Some think that marketing can lead to great success, or that marketing alone is responsible for the success. Dan Brown is someone I hear this accusation levied at from time to time. Others will argue that no amount of marketing will make a bad story good. Bad in this case generally being bland and boring. I waffle back and forth between these opinions depending on the writer and how jealous I feel, but ultimately, I ascribe to a synthesis of the two.
Talent and genius are not all that is required to succeed in writing. Sure, they’ll take you places a lot of the time. But there’s a problem that doesn’t have anything to do with how good you are.
