“Unveiling Secrets: Hollay Ghadery’s Journey from Book Publicist to Memoirist in ‘Fuse'”
One thing I constantly say to people is, if you stay in your lane, there’s no traffic. Just be yourself, whoever that is. Whatever you post, be sincere. Not everyone’s going to follow you, but you will find your people and your readership. Yeah, it will take a while, but it’s possible. If an author refuses to do self-promotion, that’s OK. If I like a book enough, I don’t care. I’m going to be loud enough for the both of us.
I will however tell authors about all the phenomenal opportunities I’ve had as an author from being on social media. I’ve been invited to speak at universities, be a part of a reading series, contribute to anthologies, appear on podcasts, and collaborate with filmmakers. Many of these are paid opportunities. There is so much that wouldn’t have been possible for me as an author if it weren’t for social media.
