Help For (Book) Marketing Junkies

I’m an advertising addict and I love sharing anything to do with platform building and DIY marketing. In fact if you’re an author/blogger/person-with-a-big-and-preferably-not-crazy-idea, I want to work with you on exciting new ways to get your writing out there. Check out a few of my previous posts on marketing, including the different competitions and promotions I’ve run in the past, and if they sound like your cuppa' tea then click the subscribe by email box down to your right (fear not, good citizens of the internet - I only blog about once a week so your inbox is safe with me). You can also find me on twitter, (where I'm @katherineamabel, the canary yellow, bank-robbing Santa) or on Goodreads.
