The wordsy woman philosophy when it comes to book marketing is that there is no one-size-fits-all magic bullet tactic that’s going to work for every author and every book. There is no proven system you can follow that will guarantee that your book will become a best seller. What works for one author, one book, or one reader may not work for another. So, I advocate getting back to the marketing basics.
