I have three articles (so far) appearing in publications this month. My article on how to promote your book locally is featured in the IBPA Independent<\/em>. Fran Silverman, who publishes the Book Promotion Newsletter<\/em>, published my piece on how to evaluate your author success potential. And my article on the importance of writing for your target audience appears in the Freelance Writer\u2019s Report<\/em> this month.<\/p>\n

If you are the author of a nonfiction book, you should be submitting articles to a variety of appropriate newsletters, magazines and e-publications. Why is this important? It keeps your name in front of your audience. Your book gets exposure and you gain additional credibility in your field. The more your audience trusts you, the more apt they are to purchase your book. And, think about it\u2014if they don\u2019t know about your book, they definitely won\u2019t be buying it.<\/p>\n

I send out anywhere from six to a dozen articles to writing, publishing and book promotion newsletters and magazines every month. I submit them to small local club newsletters as well as larger national magazines. And most months my articles appear in three to six (or more) of these publications.<\/p>\n

I continually seek out new magazines, ezines and newsletters and I log them in a binder, along with submission information. To date, I have 53 listings for publications in my niche (writing\/publishing\/book promotion). I am published in around 12 of them fairly regularly.<\/p>\n
