Facebook, platforms of Medium, Simily, and Substack. I feel I’m getting some traction from X. Also do book festivals and author events. Most importantly, forming relationships. And praying.
I belong to an authors group. We started our own, but it never seemed to take off. Our local book store had a big event until Covid.
We look for each other. We also do farmers markets and craft shows- several every week. In Ohio, with a great library system, they often have book festivals. Last year I traveled twice about two hours away. Not sure that was worth it, but I had fun. I got an invite yesterday for a library event closer in Ohio. I live on the border in Pennsylvania.

Where do you find your author events/festivals? I've searched in my area and I'm wondering if I'm looking in the wrong places for my area.

Awesome! I'll have to take a look locally with some of our bookstores/libraries!
They can be your best friend!
