Introduction

Promoting your book nowadays may seem very difficult. The reality is that it's not. Many authors still prefer digital platforms, while others prefer more traditional venues. In my opinion, a combination of both is what can help us connect with more people and introduce our book to a wider audience. That's why today I want to tell you about three places where you can promote your book. These are:

1. Book fairs

2. Libraries

3. Reading clubs

1. Book Fairs: This is a very important place because not only can you showcase your book, but you can also make connections with other authors or publishers. It's not easy to be accepted because often fairs prioritize established writers, but it's a very good alternative for promoting your book. Find out if there is a fair near you in your city; if not, you can search online for other cities or countries that have them. Also, remember that many places are offering virtual presentations, so you might not even have to travel and spend money on hotel stays. Just by paying the fair fee, you can promote your book.

2. Libraries: Although many people don't attend libraries, they still remain a privileged place to promote your book. I recommend contacting your local library and seeing what possibilities they offer. Like book fairs, libraries offer virtual presentations, so you may not need to be physically present at the library; you can do it online. Also, remember that public libraries are free, so don't be discouraged if not many people come to your presentation. Keep promoting your book in this space. Eventually, you will get more people to know about you. You won't regret it.

3. Reading Clubs: Although these spaces are smaller and more specific in terms of the books they discuss, they are still a good place to connect with established readers. Check how many there are in your city and don't be afraid to contact them. They might not be interested in the topic of your book, but they can recommend other nearby clubs. You can also create your own reading club and invite other novice writers or established authors to talk about their books. Keep in mind that at first, everything seems slower, but if you keep looking for ways to promote your book, you will surely gain more followers every day.

I hope these tips are helpful. Don't forget to share it.
