I have recently self-published a book on Amazon, which I will provide a link to if you are interested in any information regarding it. In order to promote the book, I've been hoping to use the fact that I am only seventeen years old to convince whoever I contact that this may be something worth reporting, since that's really my only asset which immediately sets me apart. I have emailed local newspapers from my home and where I live now, as well as libraries and individual journalists in my area, asking if there is any help they could provide. I have also talked some with the administration at my high school, but their schedule doesn't give them many options for helping me. What are your tips for promoting a self-published book and getting one's self known at least locally? Is there anything you believe that I am doing wrong? Anything I haven't done that is bound to help me (I'm sure there are plenty of other things I could be doing)? I appreciate your help so much. I'm just trying not to let myself become discouraged. Thank you!
