@theauthormauricemyers: Your support will come from outside of your circle most times #fyp #BookTok #writertok #authortok #authortoauthor #authorsoftiktok #aspiringauthor #motivation
Facts! The biggest supporters you have will be the random people you’ve never even met! Your family and friends are good for cheering you on, but they are not where you are going to find your fan base!

True. I don’t take offense to be honest, I don’t expect everyone in my life to read my books just because I wrote them…

My dad has never read a book, and even if he did he wouldn’t be interested in my genre. But he overheard me say I need to print out my drafts for editing, so he bought me a printer. 🥹

If they don’t read and they know me, then they just owe me a simple heart on my TikTok cuz ain’t no way I went to a children’s magic show just to show support and them not return the favor

They are haters 😂🤣 just playing lolPI’m blessed to be surrounded by my family and friends who bought my debute book, instead of asking for a free copy just to support me! 🥰 Plan was to give them it for free, but they insisted that they want to buy it!

I actually get nervous by folks who are buying my book to support me, but who I also know it isn’t their cup of tea.... so 😓 I appreciate their support so much but wonder if they will read it and enjoy it.

This is true. My Facebook updates to family and friends will do nothing as far as marketing goes lol. That's why I'm using TikTok more often lately.

It’s so true! And while it’s discombobulating at first, it is so absolutely fulfilling to connect with random strangers who are as excited about your story as you are 🖤
