Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance had such a good craft note this week pertaining to self-promotion for authors, I had to share:

"There is this predilection for writers to be ashamed of self-promotion...We have to be our own advocate for the art that we make in the world, not only to be an advocate for us, for oneself, but for art’s power and to advocate for art’s existence in the world.

...The beauty of that is that you’re not alone in that. People are out writing criticism, people are out reading, people are out doing interviews like this one. It’s not just you alone in the world as an artist, but I think there’s some responsibility to go out there and represent it.” —Larissa Pham

From the Creative Independent: "Writer Larissa Pham discusses navigating expectations, advocating for your art, and finding balance"
