Fascinating story. As a college health nurse working in a wellness center I have a deep interest in mental health. I’d love to read this book.
ReplyThank you, Rachel for all your guidance, friendship and support over the years. You are a force, and I’ve learned so much from you about marketing, self-publishing, and being a good human.
Truly grateful for you!
I would love to win a copy of Rachel’s book! I need all the help I can get and am very much like you, Jackie when it comes to the marketing side of things. I’m a little overwhelmed and a lot freaked out! I loved this post so much, not only because I adore Jackie and her vulnerable, beautiful writing, but because I love the idea that it’s about human connection more than anything. Jackie, you are also super generous with your writing advice, thank you so much!
ReplyMarketing is definitely not my strong suit, but I do try – sporadically. I’m more focused on just being myself…not being good at marketing and all. I would love to win a copy of Rachel’s book – I need all the help I can get.
ReplyThank you for sharing your story. I admire you for using your experience to reach out and help others. All the best to you in your future work.
Sincerely,
Dana Lemaster
Jacqueline,
Wow. Just wow! I felt as if I could have written this, except I have yet to finish my book. However, from your writing about Rachel, “… trying to emulate her badass self-publishing skills and as much of her marketing expertise as I could.” And she does indeed have a hell of a lot of “pixie dust” for the taking. She’s a badass who gives a damn, but you have to do it your own damn self. Yes, I’m smiling. Rachel has that effect on me, especially when she goes off on a tangent.
Thank you for being an advocate. I admire your honesty in writing about that which many have written about, but everyone’s story is different because the spectrum is a long one when it comes to BD. I will be reading your book “The Red Bench” soonest.
Sincerely,
Donna
BTW, every writer should keep a copy of Rachel’s 30-Day Book Marketing Challenge next to them, and read it.
ReplyI enjoyed this post. I had been hesitant about being personal on my blog, though I’ve always been read. I was even told that using your blog for personal posts were a bad idea because “no one cares”, but I didn’t agree with that. Still don’t.
It’s nice to see a post that shines a light on why telling who you are is a good idea. Thank you for this post.
As to why I’d love the paperback copy of the book, or ebook, I’d love to learn more about marketing myself while marketing my book.
