Spreading the Word about Your Book

Unlike the adventurous twists and turns of creative writing, a book marketing plan should follow a definite path. iUniverse Writer’s Tips provides you with a number of marketing strategies to keep you focused and get your word across effectively.

2. Create a loud email blast.
