That’s especially true in this case, Julia, because it’s a very regional book. People in another region will be far less interested than those in Jane’s family’s hometown. Your best bet when it comes to local media is nearly always the media outlets where you live and work.

I can tell that she did an excellent job with marketing. Still, those efforts would likely not have yielded the same results if she had launched the book in any other city. For those of us whose topics aren’t tied to a specific locale, getting the attention of local media is harder.

My books have been printed and I’m trying to decide where to start selling, I never did anything like this, I’m a retired pipefitter and excited about this venture.
Thank you, Bob

I had the opposite problem. I had plenty of books & I should have been happy with the ~35 people who showed up. I was expecting more.
It just occurred to me that s friend of my husband’s made a video. We just saw them a couple days ago and I didn’t even think to ask him about the video!
I feel like there is so much to do & to remember, that it’s really hard to get everything right!
