Alison Baverstock’s latest is as practical and down-to-earth a guide to marketing books as you’ll find anywhere. Unlike many so-called marketing “experts” she speaks from experience and has no truck with fancy-pants jargon and theory. This is just plain, simple, excellent advice from start to finish. If you’re a published author you’ll already know that you need to do everything you can to support your title. And if you’re hoping to get published, then you would be wise to read this book and be prepared to give your little treasure every help.
There is also a very valuable chapter on self-publishing – when it’s worth considering, how to go about it and above all how to avoid the pitfalls.
