Casey Plett has seen the world of Canadian writing from different angles. As reviewer, essayist, and fiction writer (most recently the Amazon First Novel Award-winning Little Fish), she shares her own work through reading, interviews and social media. As a former bookseller with McNally Robinson and publicist with Biblioasis, she has also learned the most effective and far-reaching ways for books to get noticed, loved, and sold. In “How to Promote Yourself” Plett draws on her expertise as both writer and industry professional to illuminate the waters of book promotion and sales, as well to share advice on how all authors–established, emerging, and self-published–can publicize their work, bring it to readers, and even keep their mental health in check at the same time.
