## Resource

If you've been avoiding book marketing because every example you've seen requires putting your personal life online - your face, your story, your daily life as content - this episode is going to change how you see what's actually required. Jenn breaks down the difference between personal branding and book marketing, why you don't need to share anything personal to sell your book effectively, and what reader-focused content looks like for both fiction and nonfiction authors. Whether you're a healthcare professional keeping worlds separate, writing under a pen name, or simply someone who refuses to perform a personal brand, this one's for you.
