“To
defend what you’ve written is a sign that you are alive.”
~ William Zinsser, WD
I don’t know if you’ve ever gotten a bad review for your
book, but they do happen. It can be tempting to want to respond to the review
and defend yourself and your work – but that’s usually not a good idea. On the
flip side, all of book marketing should be considered defending your book. Why
is your book worth reading?
If someone said that your book wasn’t as valuable as another
book in your niche, or the writing style was different then so and so’s. How
would you defend your book?
What would you say to them?
How would you respond?
Marketing prompt:
Write a blog post telling people why your book is worth
reading. Defend it against unknown rebuttals if possible.
