Adele Jones asked Christine Dillon:

When it comes to book marketing, what is the number one bit of advice you'd give an emerging author trying to promote their work?

Christine Dillon Hard question.
Probably - learn how to grow your email list. This includes choosing the right email provider and having an automated series of emails to welcome new subscribers and introduce yourself and your work. I find MailerLite wonderful (I was using another company first).

Secondly, make friends with other authors, especially in your genre. It helps in many areas but one of them is that maybe you can do cross-promotions later together and help each other.
