Insights 2016: Professor Catherine Driscoll on Rural Retirement Culture

My guest this week is Catherine Driscoll, self-published author of the hit book “The Town Turkey.” Catherine wrote it based on a funny event that happened in her town, and ended up turning the idea into a very successful first book! In this interview she shares how she came up with the idea, what led her to self-publish and self-print (rather than using a print on demand service like CreateSpace), how she launched and marketed the book, and much more! You’ll hear:  What gave her the idea for the book in the first place Why she chose self-publishing over going traditional How and why she contracted with a printer, instead of going print on demand Her exact marketing strategy, which includes tons of ideas and techniques you can use too How she leveraged the local angle to sell more books and build her fan base Her brilliant tips for getting the most out of school visits and readings And much more!  Catherine is a very smart marketer and promoter, and the advice she shares in this episode will be a big help to you if you’re struggling to put together a marketing and launch plan for your books!
