It is written. You can't wait to get your book in the hands of readers who will be blessed, helped, and encouraged by your gift in writing.
"Marketing a book is like lunch. You eat lunch so you have the energy to keep going all day. You know that if you skip lunch, you’re tired by 2:00. Likewise, you market your book so it can “keep going” in the marketplace; no marketing may mean that sales will dwindle before they need to." -Wheatmark Publishing Success.
