Show Notes: J.C. Hutchins, continued
Discussion: Trampas comments on Cory Doctorow’s experiment, adding his opinions on how that marketing experiment’s already been done… with 7th Son and the massive marketing and promotional efforts that JC put into it after he initially couldn’t get it into print the first time around.
It’s time for authors to start handling the business of book promotions and marketing themselves again, no matter how big or small their publisher may be, because ultimately, the author has just as much, if not more, invested in the long tail success of the work.
