I'm Gail Z. Martin, author of The Thrifty Author's Guide series of books to help authors, like you, make sure that the right readers know about your book, find your book and even more importantly, want to buy your book.

You're a busy person. That's why The Thrifty Author's Guide has short, easy-to-read chapters, with a to-do list at the end of each chapter. 

You'll have a road map to marketing success, and with just a little investment of time each day, you can market your book successfully.

The tips you'll find in The Thrifty Author's Guide are things I learned the hard way marketing my bestselling series of fantasy novels to an international audience. 

I did it the hard way--so you don't have to.  Inside, you'll also find tips from other bestselling fiction and non-fiction authors, friends of mine who contributed their own secrets for success so that your books can get known and get sold.

 It didn't hurt that when I wrote my first book, I had spent nearly 20 years as a marketing and PR pro for several big companies. 

I put that insider's knowledge to work for my own books--and in The Thrifty Author's Guide.  (I'll tell you a secret: I actually did my MBA in Marketing so that I could one day use that knowledge for the books I intended to write someday!)

So here it is, a sample chapter of The Thrifty Author's Guide.
