The Plan that Launched a Thousand Books: A DIY Guide to Creating Your Book Marketing Plan by Tara R. Alemany should be one of the books on your list if you are a writer and plan to publish your book on your own (or if you have a hopeless publisher). In this book, you will learn more than just how to promote your book on Facebook and Twitter. The author has quite a bit of experience when it comes to what makes a book sell, and what not. Not all of the advice in the book might be suitable for you - or you might not feel comfortable with all of them, but with a choice of more than 25 different ideas, you should find one or the other thing that will help you to turn your book into a success, i.e. sell more than just a few copies to people you know.
The Plan that Launched a Thousand Books: A DIY Guide to Creating Your Book Marketing Plan by Tara R. Alemany was not only informative, but also well written. And often non-fiction books are such a bore to read! I loved the writing style and found most of the tips and advice on how to make your book more attractive to readers and bookshops very useful. I will definitely use some of them when I finally finish my book. The book is entertaining and insightful at the same time. You could not ask for more.
