One book link, Every store Booklinker.com 7/17/2026 Hello authors! We all feel it. The overwhelm of trying to keep up with every tool out there for marketing your books. Facebook ads, Amazon ads, email, ARCs, links, analytics… It’s a lot. This is your chance to have your voice heard and help build a resource authors will actually use. Kerrie Exciting NewsI've been working on some exciting upgrades to The Book Marketing Lab. One of the biggest additions is a personalized roadmap through the Author Marketing Course, helping you focus on the lessons that matter most to you. I'm not quite ready to share all the details, but Lab members will be the first to hear more next week. Psst... I'll let you in on a little secret. Use the promo code LABTEST50 to get 50% off your first month. That makes membership less than the cost of a Starbucks coffee.
