I have recently had a manuscript for a young adult novel accepted for publication. With the economy the
way it is, and book sales, even at the major publishers, falling, it is now up to the author - especially a
first time author - to do pretty much all the marketing and promotion for their book.
Unfortunately, like most authors out there, I know so much about writing, and so little about marketing
and promotion. So, rather than spend a good deal of money getting a professional in marketing help me
with this, I decided it would be a good idea to explore this topic on my own.
Here we are going to explore, just what it takes to get you and your book noticed out there. I am going to
keep you updated to the things I am doing to get myself, my website and my book noticed. I am going to
take advice from some published authors and I am going to try a few things on my own. My hope is, that
something here will be able to help you get some of your work noticed.
