Yesterday we talked a little about writing for magazines and newsletters as a way to promote your book. Do you regularly submit articles or stories to magazines\/newsletters in your book\u2019s genre or topic? If you don\u2019t, you should. Why?<\/p>\n
\u2022\tIf you\u2019re seeking a publisher for your book, your long list of magazine\/newsletter credits will be an impressive plus in pitching your book.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tThis is a good way to build credibility with your audience in your topic\/genre. If you\u2019ve been submitting articles\/stories while writing your book, when it is published, you\u2019ll have a built-in following of readers, some of whom will most likely purchase your book.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tOnce your book is published, you can continue to submit articles on new trends in your field and news related to your topic, for example, or stories in your genre. Promote your book in the bio at the end of your story or article.<\/p>\n
How do you get your articles or stories published? <\/p>\n
\u2022\tSeek out publications in your topic\/genre and study them. Consider magazines and newsletters that you are familiar with and use the Writer\u2019s Market<\/em> to locate additional potential markets for your articles\/stories.<\/p>\n \u2022\tCome up with article ideas that definitely fit the publication and make sure it is something they haven\u2019t recently published.<\/p>\n \u2022\tChoose from your array of short stories within the genre of your book and start offering them to appropriate magazines and newsletters. Or write new stories for publication. <\/p>\n \u2022\tSubmit excerpts from your fiction or nonfiction book for publication. Many magazines accept book excerpts.<\/p>\n \u2022\tDevelop a rapport with various magazine\/newsletter editors by being a prolific and reliable contributor.<\/p>\n \u2022\tKeep improving your writing skills and continue learning about your field or genre so that your contributions are more valuable to magazine editors as well as their audiences.<\/p>\n If you aren\u2019t using your writing skills to promote your book, you\u2019re missing out on a great opportunity to build credibility in your field\/genre, create an audience base and sell books.<\/p>\n This promotional idea and hundreds more are fleshed out in my latest book, Promote Your Book, Over 250 Proven, Low-Cost Tips and Techniques for the Enterprising Author<\/em> (Allworth Press, 2011).
