About Susannah Bowen
I am excited to have my third book How To Market Books 6e published in 2019; my other books are How to Get a Job in Publishing (with Alison Baverstock and Steve Carey) and How to Save Your Life (with Steve Carey).
I have a passion for marketing, communication and the publishing industry. I work in marketing at one of Australia's largest publishers, and am an Hon. Fellow at the University of Melbourne in Culture and Communication.
I have kids, a shockingly fluffy dog and I love to bake cakes.
I love getting feedback - please do get in contact! https://www.linkedin.com/in/susannah-bowen/
"The 6th edition has everything a book marketer needs. In fact if every publishing house doesn't have a copy of this book somewhere in their office, I'd be annoyed. It should be required reading. Particularly by people who come into book publishing thinking it's like other industries. It's not. It's unique. It has a language of its own. It has its quirks. And it has its issues. You need to understand the basics and then the industry as a whole. And at 480 pages, this book may just cover everything you need to know to be successful in publishing in an ever changing industry. Because the book publishing industry is changing. Always changing. And marketing has to adjust to these changes." - Rachael McDiarmid, http://www.rmmarketingservices.com/blog
