Thank you, Carly-Jay!

Great response. The fact that this person posted anonymously speaks volumes. Keep up the great work, Busybird 🙂

Yet another internet warrior, courageous behind anonymity.

You write, ‘[…] no audience appreciates being “hustled” and squawked at via social media’ whereas the blog (also) talks about pursuing avenues that have nothing to do with social media.

You think that just because an author knows their audience, that the audience is going to buy their book? Why? Do you realise how many books come out daily? Why should an author’s book stand out amongst the multitudes of books that saturate that specific audience? Oh, it’s because you believe in magic, because the author knows their audience. Um, okay.

Every author — regardless of how they’re published — needs to get themselves out there, sell themselves, and sell their book. If you’d watched the YouTube link posted, even authors such as Bryce Courtenay, Lee Child, Matthew Reilly, and Di Morrissey, are espousing this philosophy. So it’s not just the philosophy of a ‘miniature publisher’ or ‘hopeful author’, but well-recognised as necessity, whoever you are.

Next time you launch an attack and try and sound intelligent, well, check your facts. Please. Because your response only showcases your ignorance, and that you’re a petty, uniformed troll who’s trying to feel self-important. All puffed-up and proud now? Bravo.

P.S. We’re very proud of our designer and his work, but thanks for your nastiness. It says more about your character than anything else.

Also please get a better graphic designer for your book covers. Please.
