A few weeks ago, I was catching up with one of my writer friends. We became close when our novels were published by the same micro-press. Their marketing was non-existent (more on that later), and an interview I'd done with her after its release was one of its few pieces of publicity.
But she wasn't bemoaning non-existent sales. In fact, she primarily works as a translator, and she'd recently been nominated as a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Translation. "Congratulations," I said. "Put that on your website."
