Challenges of Promoting a Book in the Digital Age: An 80-Year-Old Author's Experience

As someone with minimal knowledge and experience of the internet and social media I am finding problems with my efforts to publicise my book. I thought that our local paper would be interested in an 80-year-old having his first book published but they have not responded to my emails.

As the book is set-in South-East London, I contacted the South London Press and again no response.

I also wrote to my local supermarket who have a book section but yet again no response.

I will not give up but I find it somewhat frustrating. The press is fully entitled to cover any story they see fit but I would have expected the courtesy of a response but perhaps this is not the modern way of doing things.

Thank you for reading this. I am not naturally a moaner.
