Memoir Book Marketing. An Author’s Perspective

Every once in a while, when Kendra and I talk to an author, we find a shared passion for marketing as well as memoir writing. Ingrid Ricks is one of these souls. On our website, we quoted the opening lines to her memoir Hippie Boy: A Girl’s Story way back when — before it was published — before we had ever communicated with her. We found that her character development was strong from the first word.

Then recently, she contacted us to see if we’d review her book. This lead to a great article by Ingrid. If you missed it, here’s the link.

When we saw that we shared much of the same philosophy about marketing a memoir, we invited Ingrid to write an article for our site. You’ll find her experiences with publishing and marketing on Story Circle Network’s Telling HerStories blog today.

Then below, she wraps up her experiences with her 7 Memoir Marketing Tips that she wants to share with you. These are right on. You may want to post her list on your cork board or white board or wherever you keep notes that help focus you.
