We’ve returned to the olden days, when word-of-mouth was the only real way to advertise. As an author, if you enjoy a book, please: tell your friends. Your group chat, your sewing circle, your family WhatsApp, your work Slack, the voice channel of your MMORPG guild, anything.
Hey, so. I understand that this is anecdotal and not research, but. It is WILD how useless social media has become for promo. It's a fucking disgrace, really.

Hey, it would really help me (by convincing BackerKit that people actually want this thing) if you stick your email address into this website and share the link. It's a story about being disappointed in your heroes. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Ethan illustrated several pages of comics for me! The book that's in will be out as soon as I finish all the other stuff.
