📖 AUTHOR STORY 📖 Lisa Genova: Selling From the Trunk of a Car
🧠 Neurologist-turned-writer Lisa Genova wrote 'Still Alice', a novel about early-onset Alzheimer's disease. & After receiving countless rejections from literary agents, she chose to self-publish.
Genova actively networked by handing out books from the boot of her car, speaking at local support groups, and relentlessly reaching out to bloggers and grassroots organizations.
🌟 Her DIY marketing eventually led to a major publishing deal, and the book was adapted into an Oscar-winning film starring Julianne Moore!
🧐 My Takeaway: Don't wait! Take your future into your own hands. Post online, reach out to people, build connections, sell books out of your car! Id you build your own hype you're more likely to catch the eye of the major industry players.
