I wish books could sell themselves

Hi Reader, Last Saturday, I went to the book launch for Marcia Laycock's new writer's memoir, Pond'rings. It was a beautiful event, and people came from all over the province to attend. At least 30 people were there. Marcia read from her book. She handed out copies to people who preordered them. Other people bought copies on the spot. There were so many powerful conversations I wish I could have had 100 ears so I could listen to everyone. It felt so natural, but Marcia and her family worked hard to make it happen! The snacks didn't put themselves on the plates. The colouring pages didn't print themselves. The boxes of books didn't walk from the printers to the location. Over the past months, myself and my coworkers have been working on a marketing program for authors. It's gone through so many variations. Now, it's finally ready. We're calling it Marketing Pathway. It's a one-stop shop for authors wanting to market their books. But I still want to do more. I'm hosting a live webinar on the 20th at 3 PM MST. It's From Doubt to Confidence: Marketing Your Book. It'll give you the confidence you need to market your book. You'll learn: • Why you know more about marketing than you think • Why your message matters • How to silence your inner critic • What marketing your book really means And if you can't attend live, we'll send a replay to everyone who signed up. Marketing Pathway is $50 a month, but this webinar is totally free. You can sign up for the webinar now. I hope to see you there! Molly Layton-Simpson Marketing Assistant, Siretona Creative |

Hi Reader, You've probably heard that the federal government is debating implementing a 25% tariff on American books. That tariff will put a lot of strain on Canadian booksellers and publishers. Could this be an opportunity for Canadian authors? A tariff will result in raising book prices and limiting imports. In most cases, books will get 25% more expensive, so a $20 book would now cost $25. Canadian authors and publishers printing in Canada might get more benefits under the tariffs. The...
