In a time where marketing and advertising plays a big role in the success of an author, can an author make it still on quality alone? Or do they have to be a better marketer than writer? Is it all about balance? I loved reading the alchemist and we all know what the basis of that book is.
Can an author just write and be successful?
Thoughts?
I hate to punt but I just don’t know. I spend at least 20% of my time marketing for the picayune results I get.

Thank you for your feedback Jacqui, I find it silly that a lot of publishers wont accept your manuscript because you don’t have a large platform with a high following. I understand it. Yet, I am a firm believer in quality trumping all.
