Do you ever sit down to promote your book and think, ”I've already said everything”? Or worry that one more mention will sound like bragging? You're not alone. So many authors overthink this… and meanwhile, there's a whole book full of posts sitting right there on the desk. In this solo episode, I talk about why quotes from your own book are one of the easiest ways to keep the conversation going, and the three reasons most authors never use them.

Then I walk you through my easy peasy four-word system for turning your book into social posts. You'll learn where to look for your most quotable lines, how to tell if a quote is a keeper, and why you have full permission to edit your own words. I also share a simple caption pattern, plus how one quote can turn into a whole week of content. Grab your book and a highlighter, because there's a little homework at the end.
