REVIEW:
I don’t know about you, but I am terrible at selling myself. It doesn’t matter whether it is in my professional work life, blogging, writing, selling craft projects, I just lack the confidence and the know-how to really put myself out there. Then, I discovered this book, and it was like a dream come true for me. I have made so many notes on how to build various networks, and am in the middle of making a whole load of plans off the back of reading it.
Networking for Writers is a relatively small book, but that actually works in its favour because it means it isn’t too daunting for a relative novice like me. The information is delivered in bite size chunks that are easy to dip in and out of, and covers just about every form of networking, marketing and social media that a writer could wish for. In fact, I was surprised at just how much detailed information there was.
I have always found networking to be a terrifying prospect, but with the help of this book, for the first time ever I am excited to try and build my brand, not just in writing, but in my non-writing life too.
