The Reluctant Marketer: How to Market Your Book When It’s the Last Thing You Want to Do

Join Amy Collins for a practical 75-minute session on how authors can market their books without hype, hard sells, or awkwardness.

A 75-Minute Author’s Guide to Reaching Readers

If the thought of promoting yourself makes you want to hide under your desk, this class is for you.

Join Amy Collins for a practical 75-minute session on how authors can market their books without hype, hard sells, or awkwardness. If you’ve seen other authors promote their work in ways that make you cringe—or you simply have no desire to start—this class offers a different approach.

Amy will guide you through straightforward, non-cringey ways to connect with readers, build visibility, and grow a genuine following. You’ll learn how to get reviews and blurbs, strengthen your online presence, and make marketing feel like a manageable part of the writing life—not a dreaded chore. Whether you’re traditionally published, self-published, or somewhere in between, you’ll leave with practical tools, clear strategies, and a plan that actually feels doable.

No pushiness. No shame. Just smart, effective book marketing.

Authors who dislike self-promotion and want a more comfortable approach to marketing

Writers who feel overwhelmed or unsure about building an author platform

Indie and traditionally published authors looking to strengthen their book marketing efforts

Authors who want practical, effective strategies without gimmicks, hype, or being on camera
