Welcome to the Creative Pen podcast. I'm Joanna Penn, thriller author and creative entrepreneur,

bringing you interviews, inspiration and information on writing, publishing options and marketing ideas for your book.

You can find the episode show notes, your free author blueprint and lots more information at

TheCreativepen.com. And that's Penn with a double N. And here's the show.

Hello, creatives. I'm Joanna Penn. And this is episode number 744 of the podcast, and it is Saturday the 30th of March

your book. Now, there are many options for book marketing, so how do you choose the right

ones for you? I give my thoughts on the different polarities on the

marketing scale to help you figure out what might work for your book, your stage on the author

journey and your lifestyle. That is coming up in the main section and it is a rewritten chapter

from my author blueprint.

In writing and publishing things, if you'd like a bundle of useful e-books for authors,

check out the latest story bundle, which looks awesome. It includes researching history for fantasy authors, a book in hand, which is about optimizing for in-person direct sales,

Kickstarter for authors, and also make me read it, why an editor wants to buy a story,

fear of success and more.

You can find that at storybundle.com forward slash writing.

I don't have a book in this, but I already bought the bundle.

It looks so good.

So that's storybundle.com forward slash writing.
