    About this ebook

    The challenges of building a writing career don't end with the craft of writing. Writers also have to find ways to tell the world of their work. Tooting your own horn can be a vastly uncomfortable practice and can be downright excruciating, especially in the midst of ongoing rejection. On the Struggle to Self Promote examines ways to reframe the act of self-promotion so that you don't feel like you're hawking your ways, but rather honoring your creativity and being a passionate advocate for your work out in the world.
