How should I market the launch of my new book as an artist?

Start by creating a pre-sale offer for the first 50 signed copies of your book to build early momentum and excitement. Promote this limited signed-copy offer heavily on your social media channels, particularly through content showing the book’s arrival and unboxing. Leverage your existing network—reach out to people who’ve expressed interest via email, and explore book signing opportunities with groups that know you and your story (such as former workplace communities or organizations you’ve been involved with). The key is starting with the excitement of the new release, using the scarcity and special nature of signed first copies to drive initial sales, then building from there.
