Your ‘Just Do It’ Appointment

Researching markets, ugh.

Checking statistics, ugh.

Finding agents, ugh.

Noting preferences, ugh.

Writing queries, ugh.

Not selling, argh.

These are the steps that so many writers hope to escape, skip over or

avoid. But if you are dodging these tasks, then you’re not selling. You

Other authors have said that they purchase books at a low cost that are a similar style to their own. When someone “buys” it, the author also includes a copy of her book for free. When…
