Pauline, I’ll flip that and say that a lot of what works for nonfiction also works for fiction, but if it isn’t labeled “for fiction,” many fiction writers won’t consider doing it. Here’s an example: https://buildbookbuzz.com/guest-blogging-audience-novelists/

It’s a real loss for those who don’t ask, “Can I apply this to what I’m doing?”

PS – a book I really liked on marketing is “Reach” by Becky Robinson.

Oh my gosh, — like you, Sandra — the advice for adding people you know to your email list fills me with dismay. How can this myth still be out there?

However, I like that there is separate advice for fiction vs nonfiction: I would love to see more discussion of these differences in the “how to market your book” space.

David Gaughran‘s books and marketing wisdom beats (almost) all other advice hands down.
