There’s a lot of gloom and doom out there thanks to the coronavirus, so why not be a source of smiles by adding a little (much-needed) sunshine to your book promotion next month?

Instead of posting about the number of reported cases in your area or debating whether consumers should be stockpiling face masks, create lighter social media content. Try linking your book to one of the many fun and unusual occasions coming up in April.

Yes, it takes a little thought and creativity, but doesn’t all book promotion? What’s more, your followers will certainly appreciate the break from the depressing headlines and epidemic updates.
