Writing my book was so overwhelming that I wasn't able to talk about it until just recently. So, my book is out in four months, and I really hope I'm not too late...I know people say to build your audience years in advance, but it took everything out of me just to research and write!
I think getting books out into the world are so exhausting. You barely finish and then you need to ramp up again. Take a look at my pinned post on non-fiction launch blueprint. I talk a lot about how you are always launching and not to treat it like a marathon. If you have any specific questions about the book launch process just let me know. And of course, TELL US ALL ABOUT THE BOOK. What is about? Who is for?
Oh thank you, I will definitely check that out! ALL IN HER HEAD is a feminist call to action to reframe and reclaim women's mental health. It's a blended memoir that weaves together my own story, science and the stories of women from around the world :)
Apparently my publicist is doing that, although it's always hard to know how much I'm supposed to be doing on my end. But I just went and followed a bunch of accounts with the #feministbooks hashtag, so I'll start engaging with their content! Thanks so much - you have a ton of great content and I'm going to do a paid subscription!
What a fascinating read Lucy! So glad to be connected. I found you through Annie and have been waiting for a quiet moment to check out your stuff. Happy New Year to you and yours - enjoy that view! ✨📖🙌🏻
Thank you for writing such a helpful and detailed piece. As someone who had lofty goals of writing and publishing a book this year, the breakdown of how to build an audience on social media first is super helpful 🙏🏻

So many idea . For a start have your thought about gifting advanced copies to feminist writers / platforms?

I world maybe ask them for that list and then follow them and engage with them to improve the chances?
