Hello, Brandon. I don't see the free plan on May 20. Since I don't see it published, would you like to publish it in Reviews for Medium Featured Books? This is a fairly new publication for Medium writers who have joined the Medium Verified Book Author program and have featured books, and for readers who write reviews of their books. (While I think you're right about paid marketing, we're only doing free marketing on this new pub.) Reviews for Medium Featured Books will only be publishing a few articles on marketing by writers we select for this purpose, so what you write will not get buried.
