How to use research to market your novel

August 21, 2024

Novelists often struggle with what to write or say in their email newsletters, blogs, and podcasts. Unpublished novelists often feel like they have nothing to talk about, and published authors know readers tire of constant book promotion emails.
So, what should novelists write about?
Writing a novel is a bit like woodworking. When you craft something from wood, you often have leftover pieces of lumber you can use elsewhere.
Savvy carpenters and writers know how to put the leftovers to use.
A novelist's leftover lumber is research!
In this week's episode, we'll visit with a historical novelist about how you can repurpose research.
You'll discover
