When reading a non fiction book proposal, agents and editors want to see proof that you have an audience that will buy your book. Wallace: Not only do i not have a large social media presence, but my book itself critical of social media,. in the neighborhood of a lot of your work. How did you approach this with your own books? Did you find it a hard cell, or were you easily able to convince your agents and editor that you had equally valuable non social media channels to reach your audience? Is this even possible for a new author who's not a high profile professor with a proven academic track record, writing like you? Thank you so much for your time and for your work
