Purple Snowflake Marketing recently received a 5 star rating !! ...and this awesome review: "Purple is my favorite color and Purple Snowflake Marketing is my favorite marketing book that I've ever read!  Writing has been one of my passions since early childhood, and learning the other skills necessary to actually get a book published has been a fun adventure, but marketing has not come so naturally.  In the face of this big challenge, I appreciated reading a book by authors who have walked this road, sharing their insight, experience and practical advice that any author can implement.  I especially appreciated the tax tips and the chapter on building an audience.  Excited to work on my business and marketing plan for the book I published last month based on everything I learned from the Brummets!"

One of the first lessons we learned was that writing the book is the easy part, which came as a surprise to my husband, as he was proud of all the thought and work he had put into his literary project, but then stalled several years ago when he realized that the manuscript creation is just the first step.  Publishing, and then marketing the book and getting it out there, all of which requires money we didn’t want to spend, seemed too daunting.  More recentl...
