DESCRIPTION: Your A Game is a guide to fiction promo built around the idea that genre publishing is an interactive, strategic game which authors, colleagues, and readers play together for fun and profit.
Your A Game is divided into four sections (Brand, Presence, Market, Project) with appendices, including exercises, checklists, and links to downloadable content on the A-game website. Rather than dictating a rigid set of instructions, the book examines the unique challenges of genre promo and proposes a strategy of authentic engagement and participation for long-term career success.
For maximum flexibility and contextual benefits, we structured the text of Your A Game as a hyperlinked chooseable adventure game with branching paths
