Book title: Promote Your Book, Over 250 Proven, Low-Cost Tips and Techniques for the Enterprising Author<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n You know who I am. You\u2019ve either hired me to edit your manuscript, you\u2019ve read my articles and\/or books, you\u2019ve attended my presentations, you\u2019ve visited my website, you read my blog, we met at a book festival, you are a SPAWN member and\/or you\u2019ve taken one or more of my online courses. Some of you have downloaded the FREE ebooklet from my website.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve gained value from my offerings in the past\u2014in particular in this blog\u2014and if you have a book to promote or plan to publish a book, you really must take a look at my new book, Promote Your Book<\/em>. Here\u2019s the thing:<\/p>\n Do you have what it takes to be a successful author, but you\u2019re not sure how to go about it? Are you currently writing a book and really don\u2019t understand much about how the publishing industry works? Are you a published author with a book that is struggling in the marketplace? Promote Your Book<\/em> gives enterprising authors the advantage they need in order to more successfully navigate the publishing industry and gain a better understanding of their responsibilities as a published author. At some point in your publishing journey, you\u2019ll discover the enormity of your responsibility in promoting your book. You\u2019ll realize that your approach to book promotion is key to your book\u2019s success. And this is true whether you write nonfiction, fiction or children\u2019s books.<\/p>\n This well-organized collection of the most successful low-cost and no-cost ideas provides solutions for both aspiring and seasoned authors in any genre. You will learn how to promote the book without changing your lifestyle; how to promote creatively; when, why and how to get involved in social media; how and when to submit news releases and tip sheets; ideas for arranging book signings and radio and TV appearances; tips for submitting articles and stories for publication; how to land and present speaking gigs; how to get your book into the school system and libraries; how to enhance the marketing skills you already have in place and much more. We\u2019ve even included a few valid reasons to spend money on book promotion. Would a book trailer enhance your sales, for example? Perhaps a publicist would help jumpstart sales.<\/p>\n Important Note: This book is designed with the novelist in mind as well as the nonfiction and children\u2019s author. While virtually all of the tips, techniques and resources are for fiction authors as well as nonfiction, I\u2019ve provided details in some cases showing how fiction authors can best use them.<\/p>\n And I\u2019m not taking all of the credit for this book. I invited two dozen other professionals and book authors to share their stories throughout the pages of this highly informative book.<\/p>\n Read some of the reviews and comments at the book page on Amazon. http:\/\/amzn.to\/oe56Ia<\/a><\/p>\n Patricia\u2019s bio Over a dozen of Patricia\u2019s 34 books relate to writing\/publishing and she contributes dozens of articles each year to writing\/publishing magazines such as, Writer’s Digest, Authorship, PMA Independent, Advanced Christian Writer, Arizona Authors, Freelance Writer’s Report, Byline, SPAWNews, SPANnet, Book Promotion Newsletter and many others.<\/p>\n To order the book at my website, go to http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/PromoteYourBook.html<\/a> <\/p>\n
