Introverts as Writers/Authors

A very interesting podcast episode by Joanna Penn.

One question I found interesting and relevant: “What have you found successful in marketing your book as an introvert?”

So, the guest, Cat Rose, admitted she struggled with self-promotion. She said, “One thing that has helped me with this particular project is that I’m genuinely proud of the book and I can’t say that about everything or even most things that I do. I think that’s also a classic introvert thing or a creative thing is that we might be overly humble about something that we’ve done and that makes it harder to get the word out. That’s what I started to see is that a lot of us, we know what we have to do to tell people about our book.”

I don’t usually listen to podcast. But I recommend this episode, especially for us introverts who are also writers/authors.

Cheers.
