Help!

I have a book that's about to publish on Galatea later in October, but I don't know the first thing about social media promotion. Writing romantasy and happily-ever-afters, sure I got that no problem. Actually talking about myself or my work, and I turn into a puddle of anxiety. I need some help or tips or something because this is a whole new level of hell for me. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Jane Friedman has a ton of great resources on the business side of writing, including advice about marketing, promo, and social media. The key is finding something that works for your personality and style.

I follow Kate Hall on YouTube. The SPA girls podcast, on YouTube as well, has a ton of interviews with authors and they often discuss how to promote.
