  • Reframe self-promotion as sharing your work to help others rather than promoting yourself.
  • Focus on the value your book offers, making promotion feel less sleazy and more purposeful.
ADVICE

  • Before writing a book, ask whether it needs to be written and if you are the best person to write it.
  • Ensure you feel passionate about the topic to sustain the long writing process.
