In this episode, I focus on how not knowing how to market shouldn’t stop you from writing. I emphasize that writing and marketing are separate skills, and the key to successful marketing is having a good product. I encourage you to focus on improving your craft and not let marketing distract you. I also mention that professionals in the publishing industry can help with marketing. I wrap up with a writing challenge and an invitation to join the newsletter.
