Self-Publishing Marketing: Strategy, Chaos & Crossing Our Fingers
<p>This week on Authors Off Script, we're tackling one of the least glamorous—but most important—parts of being a self-published author: marketing.</p><p>We're sharing how we approach promoting our books, organizing launches, showing up online, and balancing strategy with creativity. Spoiler alert: despite our best intentions, there's also a fair amount of winging it involved.</p><p>Because the truth is, most indie authors are figuring things out as they go.</p><p>And, because this is Authors Off Script, we inevitably get distracted, go on several tangents, and end up discussing things that have absolutely nothing to do with marketing.</p><p><br></p><p>Find us on IG @letiziafirmani and @elenalocatelli_</p><p><br></p>

From Manuscript Edits to Sagre Season
<p>This week on Authors Off Script, we actually start with something productive: a check-in on where we are in our writing and editing processes.We talk about what we’re currently working on, how the drafting/editing brain space is treating us, and the very real emotional rollercoaster of trying to finish books while also being alive in the world.And then, as per tradition… we immediately go off script.Somewhere between editing updates and creative accountability, we find ourselves deep in a conversation about Italian village fairs (sagre di paese) and roasted chestnuts.</p><p><br></p><p>IG account: @elenalocatelli_ and @letiziafirmani</p>
