Banned Book Club: Ryan Estrada’s graphic novel journey and success with multiple demographics and post-viral book marketing | Before the Bestseller 93


On this week’s episode, we welcome Ryan Estrada. He’s an artist, author, and adventurer who co-wrote the Banned Book Club, a fascinating graphic novel detailing his wife’s experience in the 1980s of reading banned books in South Korea. We covered a lot of ground in our conversation: how to market your book to multiple demographics and audiences, finding passionate supporters or readers, maintaining momentum, and post-viral book marketing. Ryan shares plenty of valuable advice and memorable one-liners that can inspire your writing, publishing, and book marketing endeavors.

I’m particularly excited about today’s guest because his book is truly unique, and it’s a shining example of how a compelling story and smart marketing can lead to big success across different markets. You won’t want to miss this one!
