On episode 69, which is our final guest interview for the Your Famous Author Era season, my guest is Jen dePaula, a veteran in the book marketing space who is going to share her tips and strategies for long-term book marketing success that does not require selling your soul to the social media algorithms.

Jenn is a marketing and social media expert who has been working with authors, musicians, and other creatives for over 24 years. She’s worked with every type of author - from New York Times best selling authors to self-publishing authors starting from scratch. Her zone of genius is helping overwhelmed fiction and nonfiction authors clearly and confidently market their books.

During our conversation, Jenn and I talk about:

• When an author should start their book marketing plan.


• The three different phases of book marketing every author should know.


• How social media should be incorporated into your book marketing plans, and why it absolutely should NOT be the main component of your marketing efforts.


• How to hook your reader with emotional triggers.


• The three things every author should have to successfully market their book.
