Kaye walks writers through all of their options, taking the anxiety out of the pitching process and teaching them how to be their own best promoters. Sharp, intuitive, and user-friendly, Dana Kaye’s guide is a must-have for all authors with bestselling aspirations. “There’s a reason I didn’t hire an outside publicist through my first ten books. It’s because I hadn’t yet met Dana. Smart, no-nonsense, creative, and to the point, she’s the best in the business.”—Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author of Orphan X
