Are You a Shrinking Violet?
Introverts. They have it tough at times in our “always on”, Bluetooth-Borg kind of world. So much talking, so many people. And writers who are introverts have it even worse. How do you promote yourself and your book when the thought of talking to people just drains the life out of you?
(And to clarify, introverted doesn’t mean shy. It means that you draw energy from inside yourself. Extroverts draw energy from other people. Which are you? When you’re mentally tired, how do you recharge–by being alone or by being with other people?)
There’s a website dedicated to helping introverted writers with marketing themselves and their books — Shrinking Violet Promotions. It’s run by Robin LeFever and Mary Hershey. The best part about their site for me is simply the validation that comes from being with other introverts.
You should definitely check out some of their posts:
