In this guest blog Sonia tells us how to find those important endorsements that make a difference in how your book is received.

 

Most of us are afraid to ask a bestselling author for an endorsement. Why?
Because we are afraid–

  • They won’t respond.
  • I’m a nobody. Why should they care?
  • They’ll reject me so why bother?

Well, we’re all human, including bestselling authors, so why not try. What’s the worst that can happen? No answer. Is that so bad?
It’s time to be “gutsy” and to ask for those endorsements.
There’s only one secret. Be kind and respectful, and if you decide to follow the steps I recommend, you might just get the attention from your favorite bestselling authors. Read more here 

Sonia Marsh is a “Gutsy” woman who can pack her carry-on and move to another country in one day. She is the founder of the “My Gutsy Story” series, a popular contest on her blog.

She says everyone has a “My Gutsy Story”; some just need a little help to uncover theirs. Her story, told in her travel memoir Freeways to Flip-Flops: A Family’s Year of Gutsy Living on a Tropical Island, is about chucking it all and uprooting her family to reconnect on an island in Belize.

Sonia has lived in many countries – Denmark, Nigeria, France, England, the U.S. and Belize – Sonia Marsh considers herself a citizen of the world. She holds a degree in environmental science from the University of East Anglia, U.K., and now lives in Southern California with her husband, Duke.
