In a recent post I took a pretty big swing at the marketing value of traditional publishers. I softened that by saying that I believe traditional publishers still provide a great deal of value to authors. I feel I should back that up, especially since betaing still has a stronger association with indie publishing.

Today I'm excited to introduce to you Andrew Beattie, author of "Sleeping Around in America: Revisiting the Roadside Motel." Curious about the title? Read on to see how Andrew combines his love of motorcycles and historic motels to create a book that provides a unique perspective on the American road trip.

The idea that your publisher will handle your marketing is a pernicious and antiquated myth that can lead authors to believe there is a fundamental difference in the way a traditionally published author and an indie author should approach their marketing. But is it true? No! When it comes to marketing a book, there is no difference in approach. Authors must take charge of their own book’s marketing, regardless of how that book gets published.
