Becoming an author in the traditional publishing way has become increasingly difficult. With traditional publishers being inundated with many books from aspiring writers that they can simply not publish them all. This is why some aspiring authors choose to self-publish their books on platforms like amazon. But, how can you support self-published authors?
When someone decides to self-publish their book, there are a few main ways you can help them. Of course, the main way you can help them is by purchasing their book, but what about some other ways?
If you have purchased their book, it will be extremely helpful for your author friend if you leave them a small review. This way their book will be getting out there.
You can also share their book on social media and give them some free advertising. Just by sharing and recommending their book, you are helping to get their name out there.
