Orna Ross, Author and Director, Alliance of Independent
Authors."Joanna Penn's wonderful podcast was a major influence on
me when I was a struggling author, trying to work out how to get
readers to discover my first self-published books. Her non-fiction,
too, has been a life-saver, and this revised edition of How to
Market a Book is filled with her hallmarks: a thorough approach,
comprehensive scope and a delivery that is patient and easy to read
in a way that is 100% "Joanna." I commend it to new authors, but
also to experienced veterans who would benefit from a review of
their marketing to ensure that they are up to date with the most
current thinking."Mark Dawson, bestselling thriller author and
creator of the Advertising for Authors course and the
Self-Publishing Formula podcast "The Third Edition of Joanna Penn's
How to Marketing a Book does not disappoint! Book marketing changes
fast, and with this updated content Joanna solidifies this book's
place as one of the must-read books on every author's
bookshelf."Jim Kukral, www.BusinessAroundABook.com and the Sell
More Books Show podcast "Right now, self-publishing is a wide open
opportunity for writers. But it's a confusing and increasingly
competitive field. Joanna Penn is one of the guides I rely on to
help me navigate the maze, make better marketing decisions, and
sell more books. If you read this book, she'll do the same for
you."Mark McGuinness, Poet, Coach and author of Productivity for
