Viv Oyolu joined our July Twitter chat to talk book marketing strategies and to share tips for podcasting more effectively. We frequently hear our friends in literary circles asking how to promote their books more effectively, and podcasting and podcast interviews aren't often part of the conversation. It's not as difficult as many authors think, and Viv was full of great info to help authors get started.

For the June edition of our #BBchat Twitter chat, we asked a few of our authors and literary friends from around the world, including Miral Sattar (CEO of Bibliocrunch) for thoughts on self-publishing budget strategies, as well as tips for trading services and finding freelance help. We frequently hear our author friends asking how to build a budget for their book, and Miral has penned two articles for PBS MediaShift on the subject, one detailing “The Real Costs of Self-Publishing a Book” and another explaining “How to Self-Publish Your Book on a Budget."

In the May edition of our #BBchat Twitter chat, we asked authors and literary friends from around the world, including Ginny Carter (ghostwriter and business book coach), for thoughts on planning and business book marketing strategies.
