Books for freelance writersDear Anne,
My book is currently in the design phase and now they are contacting me for marketing.

I had only planned on writing the book for my daughter, but my friends thought it would be a book that many can use, so they talked me into getting it published.

Needless to say I was shocked at how much marketing can cost. What do you suggest I do to obtain the funds to market it, since I didn’t save for this? Obtain a credit card with value of matching miles for travel, hotel, etc., or find an investor or personal line of credit with a bank?


Thank you in advance for your advice!
