I enjoy research and writing, and self-published an oral history book in 2016 based on 10 years of interviews. To promote the book, I created a brand for a planned series. I laid out the book interior and covers, produced a promo video, and started social media accounts to keep the title alive after launch.
In 2022, I started an accompanying artbook series, and have been using smart mockup websites to create compelling and realistic views of how an upcoming release will look. These have generated far more engagement in terms of shares and comments on social media than usual and are a great way of promoting print work. I also use online randomizers to giveaway free copies to followers that share pre-order or release social posts.
My books are published through Amazon KDP, allowing me to track sales and royalties,
