As an indie writer (author of Mere Anarchy: Lord Goblin's First Joint, editor and contributor (along with Douglas Miller) of Night War: The Dark Side of Dayton and indie publisher at Sword & Lion Publishing, I've been looking into the best way to promote my work and my collaborations. I find promoting my works to be an intensely personal experience. Like most writers, I love my writing with an unreasonable passion. I put myself into it, and when my work is rejected, I feel it personally. So how to promote my book and myself is full of drama! It touches me deeply. I think this is common with all writers.
