Follow your humanity

Hello Reader, I've heard plenty about new tools and technologies for writing, publishing, and marketing books. They make me dizzy, and it's my job to understand them. I can't imagine how you might feel. The worst part of all of the talk of high-tech tools is that they ignore fundamental truths I've seen. People buy books. Numbers don't. This week on the blog, we are discussing how humanity sells books. I list several examples I've seen where connections between people have boosted sales. I'd love for you to read it.
Tools can be useful, like the tool that let me add a button to this email. I think the black box around the button looks striking. Some tools make writing amazing. Speech-to-text programs, spell-checking tools, and formatting software help writers produce work. The fanciest tools can't create writing with heart. They never will. Only people working together can do that. Take care, Molly Layton-Simpson Marketing Assistant, Siretona Creative P. S. Are you on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn? Siretona Creative is.

You have a message, before you have a book. How are you going to take care of that message ......
We had quite a dump of snow in Southern Alberta this morning. One minute, it was a gorgeous spring day, the next we were in a blizzard! If you don't like the weather in Alberta, just wait a minute. If you do like it ... well. The farmers will be happy. Water management people will be happy. What's uncomfortable in the moment can be good for us in the long run. And we definitely needed this moisture. What about you? What do you need? Is there anything you need related to writing and publishing...
