Episode 66: How to Market a Middle Grade Novel
Tuesday May 11, 2021
Tuesday May 11, 2021
In this week's episode, I focus on marketing a middle grade novel. In the intro, I talk about Mother's Day 2021 and my recent health renaissance. Then, I move into what I have learned in the past few months about marketing a middle grade novel and some of the resources that I have been using. I knew marketing my new novel, Pendulum by S.E. German, would be labour intensive, but what I didn't know is that middle grade is particularly difficult to market. I talk about advice from two Podcasts: Making A Middle Grade with Claire Swinarski and #amwriting.
