Facebook. Instagram. Amazon. Millions of new books are released every year, and there are a million ways to market them. Out of the many different ways, there is one tried and true method to put books in people’s hands: word of mouth.

Reaching out to the creators that you love will help me connect with more readers like you. The more readers I can connect with, the more successful my launch, and the more time I can dedicate to writing this series. Your support now could mean the difference between finishing this nine-book series in two years or ten. Until next time,

I have already created the cover and had my manuscript reviewed by a copy editor and...
You are what you eat. That's twice as true for authors. The stories we consume inspire the stories we create. Like a modern artist sampling music, a writer knows everything is a remix. To create the best stories possible, authors need the right inspiration. With that said, here are three pieces of media that have inspired me this summer.
