#WritersCoffeeClub 17: Promotion

I'm awful at promoting work. it's one of the reasons I want to try trad publishing first and only if that fails go to self publishing, because I dread having to promote my own book and, from experience, reckon any project I self publish will just die without selling a single copy. I think to have a chance at promotion you need to be someone with friends, someone people like, so people want to share your posts etc. I'm not that person. #writing #writingcommunity

From what I've heard, trad authors still have to self-promote. 😔 Hopefully, the better publishers will at least help a little, maybe arrange appearances or something.
