This episode walks you through the essential preparations you need to make now to position your book effectively for holiday sales.You'll learn the crucial distinction between marketing a holiday-themed book versus positioning any book as a gift, and why specific messaging matters ("perfect for your adventure-loving niece" resonates more than generic "great gift" language).

Summer is upon us, and savvy authors know this season presents unique marketing opportunities—but what exactly makes a book beach-worthy? Penny Sansevieri and Amy Cornell dive into the evolving definition of "summer reads" and reveal practical strategies for positioning any book to capture readers' attention during these warmer months.The podcast challenges traditional notions of what constitutes summer reading material. While escapist genre fiction remains popular, today's readers are equally drawn to true crime, activity-based children's books, and "maker" titles that inspire summer projects. With rising travel costs leading many to embrace "staycations," books offering at-home experiences or local exploration guides are experiencing unexpected popularity surges. The hosts emphasize that even serious books needn't be shelved until fall—they simply require different positioning to connect with summer readers.What makes this episode particularly valuable is its focus on low-cost, high-impact marketing pivots. Rather than suggesting expensive cover redesigns or content overhauls, Penny and Amy recommend simple tweaks and easy changes to grab more summer readers! Ready to transform your book into this summer's must-read? Update your marketing approach with these practical strategies, engage your fans with seasonal promotions, and watch your conversions grow. Remember—these techniques work for books of all genres and publication dates, and once developed, can be adapted for any season throughout the year.Send us your feedback!Buy Penny's book The Amazon Author FormulaPlease leave a review!

Last year, I came across an essay called “Book Publishing is Broken” by today's podcast guest, Kathleen Schmidt .Using her decades of experience in book PR & strategy, Kathleen laid out several reasons why traditional publishing fails writers. (If you haven't already read that post, you'll get to hear Kathleen's reasons in our interview).And the essay really stood out…not just because Kathleen presented solutions to the problems she diagnosed…but also because her perspective was clear-sighted, well-informed, but also so honest, direct, and personal.I've been hooked on Publishing Confidential , Kathleen's Substack newsletter, ever since. With over 5,000 subscribers, I think of it as one of the must-reads for any writer looking to understand today's publishing landscape.In our interview, we talk about that landscape, about the utility of hiring an independent publicist, and the value of creating work that reaches beyond traditional media outlets.We also discuss why memoirs are one of the hardest categories for agents to sell right now, and what authors can consider to make their books more marketable.Kathleen Schmidt is the Founder and President of Kathleen Schmidt Public Relations, a boutique firm specializing in branding, PR, marketing, consulting, and business strategy for authors, publishers, and booksellers. She also writes and publishes the Publishing Confidential newsletter.Warning: this episode includes a brief mention of suicidal ideation. If you or someone you love is struggling with a mental health crisis, you can contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). (In Spanish, dial 1-888-628-9454). Some of my biggest takeaways:Publishing too many books and lack of marketing support are primary reasons why the industry struggles.Publishers produce more books than the market can sustain, often neglecting to back many with substantial marketing efforts. "They publish far too many books," Schmidt states unequivocally. It's a perplexing situation that challenges authors and industry insiders alike. The ramifications of this are profound—not just for the discoverability and success of individual titles but for the long-term sustainability of publishing entities themselves.Schmidt expresses her consternation over the lack of direction regarding advances and acquisitions: "It's all kind of garbled and I feel like if you're not able to pay authors an amount that they can live on, what are we doing?" These pivotal industry dynamics are not just numbers on a spreadsheet but represent the livelihoods of creatives whose stories shape our culture.Authors need to participate actively in the marketing and publicity of their books, using strategies tailored to their specific audience.In the digital age, a robust social media presence is often considered non-negotiable. But where should authors concentrate their efforts? Schmidt advocates for targeted strategies—"find where your audience lives when they're not reading books"—and identifies threads and Instagram as effective platforms. However, she aptly recognizes that "every author should do" does not mean straitjacketing all writers into a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, authors need to be authentic, engage with their readers, and leverage digital surrogates when necessary to carry their message.Schmidt's distinction between pitch-focused publicity versus sales-driven strategies underscores the complexity of book marketing in the current landscape. "I am the publicist who thinks about how are we going to sell the book?" she poses, aligning author success with commercial viability and practical application.Memoir faces challenges due to market oversaturation and authors should consider additional angles to be sellable.The realm of memoir publishing is undergoing profound change, leaving many authors pondering the fate of their personal stories. With the market oversaturated by similar stories, distinguishing a memoir requires more than just a riveting life story—it requires a unique angle or an additional layer of value such as the 'Memoir Plus' concept.Schmidt pushes authors to grapple with the real question: "is it a book or is it an essay?" This discernment is crucial in a world where the distinction between public sharing and a publishable memoir is increasingly blurred by the constancy of social media narratives. The trend now demands memoirists to consider if their life narratives are enough to stand alone as books or if they are better shared in smaller, perhaps digital, formats."Know who your audience is. Be very specific about that because, again, your book is not for everyone."Writing and sharing personal stories can connect with audiences deeply, but authors should thoughtfully consider the platform and format.In a moment of vulnerability, Schmidt shares her battles with depression, shaping a compelling narrative of resilience. This particular insight is significant not only for its personal nature but for its illustration of the human element that pervades the publishing world—a reminder that beneath industry trends and strategies lie individual stories of struggle and perseverance.Writing her substac essay on depression was both a personal catharsis and a means to reach others amidst their trials. Her advice resonates powerfully: "tomorrow is a new day... it's a brave decision to be alive."Additional Links:* Kathleen Schmidt Public Relations* Find Kathleen on Twitter | Threads | Instagram | Tiktok* “Do You Need to Build a Platform?” by Kathleen Schmidt, Feb 6 2024.* “Book Publishing is Broken,” by Kathleen Schmidt, July 19, 2023.* “A Personal Note About Mental Health,” by Kathleen Schmidt, May 12, 2023.CreditsThis episode was produced by Magpie Audio Productions.

Today's topic: Best-Seller Energy!! As you may know, I wrote a book — Rich as F*ck — that has (so far, to date) sold over 130,000 copies. It hangs out as a best seller in its categories on Amazon, continually. This book has opened the doors to: Press and media (hello Entertainment Tonight, E!, Selling Sunset, House Beautiful, Architectural Digest, US Weekly… and more) Easily and naturally solidified my expert and authority status Given those who were interested in my work a (truly accessible way) to learn about what I do Helped a f* ton of people in their journey with finances and relationship with money … and (as I always joke) finally my mom knew what to tell people it is I do (lol) Today's episode is intended to provide you with five tips to help you get your self published book into the world. And even become a… BEST SELLER! Without further ado… Write the Book You *Want* to Write. Sure there are tons of things you could write about and certain topics you feel may perform better than others, but listen, writing a book is FOR REAL and you are going to be in the best position if you write the one you have the most energy and passion behind. Perhaps you've started other books that never fully come to fruition (we all have) — write what is on your heart NOW and everything will be… so much easier. Go where the motivation and inspiration are as you are going to need motivation and inspiration to do this thing. Trust me. Be the BOSS of Your Book. Remember: You are the expert on what you are meant to say, do and give in this world. Editors, proof-readers and cover artists may have something to say — and take in their feedback (you hired them for a reason) — but reject the edits and ideas that aren't right for you. Preserve your voice. Bring your angle. Your book is your business. At the end of the day, trust yourself — you've been given the divine perfect wisdom for your book! Own Your Voice + Find Your Angle. People get really stressed out about being “niche” enough — you are the niche, my love. Your take, perspective, spin, story and angle are your unique niche. Get to the root of who you are and what you have to offer through your book. Embrace your journey. In Cara's example, she's writing about love — but her unique experience (a post-divorce won living in the Lower East Side and embracing her mistakes and mishaps) makes the book interesting to people. Embrace your journey and story. YOU ARE ENOUGH! Your Journey has been Perfectly Designed and Orchestrated for this Moment and this Book. People talk themselves out of writing their book (starting their business or creating their course) with the concern that it's “already been done.” The world may have other books on your topic, my love, but they don't have one from you. No one will do it like you. They couldn't if they tried. Yes, your topic has been written about before, but the world does not yet have your perspective. Your stories, your history, your pain points — it's all been perfectly designed and orchestrated in your life for you to use it for good. It's time to use it for good. Marketing Your Book is an Act of Service and Love. I love sharing with the world what I am most excited about. (This makes me a fantastic internet marketer. lol) Here is what I embraced when it came to promoting my book: I wanted to create a movement. I wanted to be of service. By sharing my book I was taking so much of my information, wisdom, and knowledge, and I put it into something that is affordable and accessible for people (during a pandemic!). I charge a lot of money to get information from me in lots of ways — and I own that — but creating something that is truly accessible (my e-book is $5!) for people to start with felt like reaching the masses in a new way. You should never feel bad for promoting your book or work. Do it from a place of love and generosity. Do it from service. Your book is something to be so proud of! Okay, a few time-sensitive things to share with you... Check out my LATEST self-published work, The Rich as F*ck Planner: Your Most Abundant Year Yet — available now! Check out the original book this planner is based on: Rich as F*ck. Check out Cara's most popular book, Girl Code. And stayed tuned because Cara and my digital course, Self-Published, is going on sale very soon! This course was created to walk you through your self-publishing journey, empowering you to do things your way, and sharing with you all we've learned while becoming best-selling authors. Woot woot!
