Wednesday links: Pre-marketing

I love regularly reading tips and advice articles in certain subjects — particularly writing and publishing. I don’t always need the information right then, but I know that it’ll eventually come in handy. Or at least, I hope it will.

I know there are a lot of other people out there who feel the same way I do, but sometimes it can be difficult to find every useful advice article that’s out there. So I thought I’d bring you a few. Here are the tips and advice articles that jumped out at me the most over the past week.

Pre-Marketing Your Book, from Books & Such Literary Management: True, you can’t sell a book until after a lot of editing, not to mention a lot of writing. That doesn’t mean you can’t start thinking about how you’ll market it, however. Excerpt: “Marketing starts much sooner than the book’s release day. Much, much sooner. It’s not premature to start thinking about marketing before the book idea is fully formed.”
