With over 3.2 million page views, I am proud to say that my award-winning book publishing blog is not only being read by many in the book industry, but it is helping authors and publishers to get a better, more informed handle on how to market books -- and to understand the critical role that publicity plays in a book’s success. Below are the best two dozen posts of the past year from Brian Feinblum’s BookMarketingBuzzBlog.
With over 30 years of experience as a book marketer, editor, promoter, and writer, I am delighted to continue to assist others to navigate through the world of books and media. I have helped thousands of authors, including those who are indie-published, self-published, university press published, and traditional, best-selling authors. I hope you find the informative posts below to be enjoyable. They are relevant to authors of all genres, from fiction to non-fiction, and from poetry to children’s books.
