Orna Ross, director of the Alliance of Independent Authors, introduces ALLi’s new guidebook, Sell More Books, now available for pre-order. The book focuses on practical, sustainable book promotion and challenges the idea that promotion is only for loud authors with big budgets. Ross explains how authors of all styles and temperaments can design promotional strategies that suit their work, their readers, and their energy. From direct sales and crowdfunding to newer AI-assisted tools, she looks at what’s changing in book promotion and why, even in an AI-driven landscape, human connection remains central.
