I called my publisher yesterday to order copies of my upcoming book, Promote Your Book<\/strong><\/em>. It\u2019s scheduled to debut August 10 and I wanted to get my order in. I was surprised to learn that there are already copies in the warehouse. Skyhorse\/Allworth can ship this week! <\/p>\n

Then I got an email from one of the contributors to the book thanking me for the book and complimenting it. \u201cIt looks great,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve already recommended it to someone.\u201d<\/p>\n

My book is out and I have not even seen it yet! But then I\u2019m used to that. As a freelance article writer for years, I was often the last one to see a copy of the magazine with my article in it. Others would call, write or email with comments on an article that I had still not seen. Seems odd to me and frustrating for the author\/writer because we\u2019re eager to view the piece or see the completed book and begin the promotion process.<\/p>\n

Since my new book is available, let me begin the ball rolling. Many of you, I\u2019ll be contacting personally. But for those whose contact information I don\u2019t have and who would like to take steps to begin or enhance your book promotion efforts, order this new book today.<\/p>\n

Promote Your Book, Over 250 Proven, Low-Cost Tips and Techniques for the Enterprising Author.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

There really are over 250 book promotion ideas, resources and tips. You\u2019ll gain a greater understanding of the book promotion process and the author\u2019s responsibility as a published author. And I think you\u2019ll enjoy reading how twenty-four other authors promote their books successfully. It’s a good opportunity to learn how others do it!<\/p>\n

This book is not just for nonfiction authors. I made a special effort to address fiction and children\u2019s book authors, as well. But I\u2019ve learned over the years that some writers of fiction just do not want to accept the marketing role and they discount any and all information and ideas related to book promotion. In fact, I\u2019ve already had comments from a couple of novelists who were given the opportunity to review prepublication copies and they indicated that there were no ideas for them. On the contrary\u2026the book is teaming with ideas for them, they just choose not to accept them. They are not of a mindset to recognize them and utilize them. Most authors of fiction need to be spoon-fed marketing strategy. But even when they \u201cget\u201d it, many will still resist it.<\/p>\n

If you are promoting a book of fiction fairly successfully, I\u2019d love to hear from you. <\/p>\n

In the meantime, whether you are writing or have written fiction, nonfiction or a children\u2019s book, order your copy of this brand new book on book promotion:<\/p>\n
