Are you a plotter or a pantser? Do you outline before you sit down to write your novel, or do you sit down at the computer each day, waiting to be surprised, writing your book literally by the seat of your pants? Or are you a combination of the two?

That in mind, getting the most for our PR dollars is of utmost importance. Determining how much you can spend without breaking the bank should be foremost in your mind.
