The Social Media Takeaway - Louise McDonnell

In this episode of 'The Social Media Takeaway,' I had the pleasure of speaking with 5-time bestselling romance author Lyndsey Gallagher about her incredible journey into writing fiction novels and her amazing marketing strategy. In this episode, she gives valuable advice to aspiring authors and stresses the importance of just getting started. We explore her effective marketing strategies, different writing styles and how she uses social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for book promotion.
