What\u2019s the first thing you do when you hold your newly published book in your hands?<\/p>\n
I will be experiencing this in about a month when Allworth Press releases my latest book, Promote Your Book, Over 250 Proven Low-Cost Tips and Techniques for the Enterprising Author<\/strong><\/em>. You can actually see the book posted at amazon.com already. <\/p>\n Of course, I\u2019ve experienced this numerous times before. For those of you who are new to authorship, I have to tell you it\u2019s always a thrill followed by a lot of work. Here\u2019s my to-do list so far:<\/p>\n 1: One of my first tasks will be the pleasure of announcing the new book to all of the experts and authors who contributed to it. Yes, around twenty people-in-the-know about authorship and book promotion offer their best tips and techniques throughout this amazing book.<\/p>\n 2: I\u2019ll contact my addressbook\u2014friends, colleagues, customers, clients, students, those who downloaded free material from my website, conference leaders, booksellers who sell my current books, etc. and let them know about this book and how to order it.<\/p>\n 3: I\u2019ll make an announcement at my facebook page, twitter and here in my blog. Can\u2019t wait to share the news with all of you as this book is going to be valuable and a real asset to your collection of publishing\/promotion reference books. <\/p>\n 4: I\u2019ll place a member announcement in SPAWNews\u2014by contacting our editor, Sandy, with the news. <\/p>\n 5: I\u2019ll post announcements in other newsletters that allow such postings. <\/p>\n 6: I\u2019ll add the book and ordering information to my website.<\/p>\n 7: I\u2019ll start setting up signings and speaking engagements. I have been speaking at meetings\/conferences and attending book festivals several times each year anyway, which I will continue to do. But perhaps I can arrange to return to a many of the venues with fresh material and, of course, a new book to sell.<\/p>\n 8: I\u2019ll continue to write and submit articles to writing-related magazines and newsletters and add a new bio at the end which includes information about the new book.<\/p>\n 9: I\u2019ll solicit book reviews and ask the reviewers to post them at amazon. I\u2019ll also post them at my website.<\/p>\n 10: I\u2019ll contact the most popular reviewers at amazon and attempt to get them to review the book.<\/p>\n And once I\u2019ve done all of this, I\u2019ll repeat those activities that were most successful, perhaps in different venues.<\/p>\n What am I forgetting? Does anyone have any ideas I have neglected to include here? We\u2019d love it if you would share some of your best book promotion ideas.<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.patriciafry.com<\/a> What\u2019s the first thing you do when you hold your newly published book in your hands?
