Sorry this is late.
StoryFirst Marketing for authors who hate marketing. Reader To start off, can I apologize for last week? I was sick, and if you read my email, it showed. Now, I can't blame all my misspellings and poor grammar on being sick. I did go to public school after all. I am by no means promising that this or any future newsletter will be without error, but if you can forgive me, I promise to do my best to minimize them. THANKS! Now that I have that off my chest, let's talk more about social media....

This email is going to talk about how you should be thinking about social media. If you have requests for specific social media topics, please...
Did you do it?
StoryFirst Marketing for authors who hate marketing. Reader Holy Moly. The reception to last week's email was amazing. I got so much positive feedback, and am especially grateful for the few people who offered suggestions on how to make these emails even better. Last week, I told you why you need to be doing a newsletter. Honestly, if you only do one marketing thing, this should be it. And you should make it freaking amazing. Thats what we are going to talk about today. What should you be...
Tap Tap Tap. Is this thing on?
StoryFirst Marketing for authors who hate marketing. Reader Whoa, look at us! We're doing this thing. You, me, a 53 other authors. What is this...thing? Let me explain what you're gonna get from me every week, but specifically in this email. You and I have something in common. A love of story, and more specifically, books! However, there is something that is glaringly different between you and me. I LOVE marketing. Yes, I said it. Hold on, don't leave yet. That's actually why you're...
