You have finally finished your manuscript but now you need to find your readers. How do you market your book without feeling like a used car salesman? Award-winning author Kathy Izard self-published her first book in 2016 when she had no social media accounts and not a single follower. She had to learn the hard way what works and what doesn’t to connect with readers. Kathy believes she finally found the secret by focusing on serving readers not selling them. In the past six years (including launching a book in the pandemic), Kathy has successfully built relationships (not Facebook ads) to sell more than 25,000 books. And she has two new books coming out in 2024!

Kathy Izard is an award-winning author and speaker who writes inspirational nonfiction, including The Hundred Story Home, The Last Ordinary Hour and her upcoming release Trust the Whisper (Summer 2024). Kathy also publishes children’s books including A Good Night for Mr. Coleman and Grace Heard a Whisper (Fall 2023). Kathy has written essays for Katie Couric Media and her work as been featured on the Today Show, inspiring people to be changemakers in their community. Online: kathyizard.com.
