Book Marketing for Non-Fiction – Health and Body
“Health is wealth.” “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Such sayings may sound cliched, but there is truth in them. Bodies age, get sick, and experience a lot of things, and for us to keep on with our daily lives, we have to continue to maintain our bodily health – and that means doing a lot, from engaging in proper exercise to eating the right types of food. And that’s where the health, body, and wellness books come in – advice from experts and tips based on experience, health and body books serve to help the health-conscious individual in the quest to being – and staying – healthy.
Below, you’ll find links to websites where you may be able to market your own health and body book. There are, as well, a lot of links that lead to resources for the health and body book writer, as well as communities and meet-ups for feedback!
