Important Guide for Authors about Branding!
Kristine Kathryn Rusch has written an important book for authors. Most authors tend to think about readers from a customer perspective than a branding perspective. Rusch explains that brand loyalty is more important than customer loyalty. She shares her experiences as an author, publisher, and retail store owner to show why branding is more important for authors in order to have a long-term career. I have been a reader Kris' blog, The Business Rusch, for years and I read this blog posts in their original form. However, I like how they are put together in this book. Recommended for writers who want to learn more about branding from a veteran writer.
