Cringing but I agree, promotion is so necessary to be heard amidst the clamour. And my latest: INCREMENTALLY, ebook and album, free on https://www.hempressbooks.com/authors/penn-kemp: There, I did it, Kathryn! Hope your Fall is grand...

Uh yeah and for sure. Self-promotion gives me the weebie jeebies, but I agree that it is arrogant to imagine people will find your book if you do not bring it to their attention. Your Body Was Made for This (Ronsdale Press) is my first book. I've tried all sorts of things to promote it since it came out on Oct 13, 2023: videos, blogs, book giveaways, readings oh boy. I am still swinging, although these days I am putting more into my next projects (another ss collection and a novel). If I could do anything differently, I would have hired a publicist. Next time.
