📚 Q&A [FREE]: How to Get Your Book Into Bookstores and Talked About in the Media with Megan Williams, founder of The Self Publishing Agency

​Want your book on bookstore shelves and featured in the media? Here’s how.

​Writing the book is just the beginning. To get it into readers’ hands, you’ll need a savvy strategy for bookstore placement and media attention. But how do you actually get a bookstore to carry your title? What makes a pitch irresistible to journalists—and do you really need a publicist?

​Megan Williams, founder of The Self Publishing Agency, helps authors turn their passion projects into bookshop staples and media stories. In this practical Q&A, she’ll walk us through what bookstores and media outlets are really looking for—and how you can stand out without a big budget or traditional publisher behind you.

​We’ll explore:

• ​How to get your book into bookstores (and what happens once it’s there)

• ​Media timelines: when to pitch, and how to follow up

• ​How to build relationships with bookstore staff and local press

• ​Why signing events still matter—and how to make them work

• ​Getting press without hiring a publicist
