Thomas Unstattd Jr., author at Author Media produces the Novel Marketing podcast direted towards writers, authors, and those aspiring to journey into the literary world in one way or another.

Why Most Authors Don’t Need Social Media in 2022

Whether you’re writing fiction or nonfiction, whether you’re traditionally or independently published, you need to be aware of the changes and costs of social media.

One of the most unhelpful questions authors ask is, “Will doing X help me sell more books?” It’s a useless question because the answer is almost always “yes.”
