My advice is to pitch, pitch, pitch \u2013 and don\u2019t give up.<\/p>\n

I pitched a book-related article with a timely hook to my local Jewish newspaper. Even though I know the editor personally, the article didn\u2019t run. So I contacted an acquaintance in Los Angeles with the same article idea, and she used it. That never would have happened if I didn\u2019t persist.<\/p>\n

You never know what will work and what won’t. Don’t despair if something isn\u2019t successful. Keep pitching and networking. Start local but don’t expect anything . . .\u00a0and always hope that there’s a bit of luck on your side.<\/p>\n

Has persistence ever paid off for you when promoting your book? Did something good happen because you refused to give up?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
