Always give the link when you guest at another blog. You can also add it to your Amazon Author page. Put the link in your signature wherever you post. I should see it in your posts here.
Tweet the link everyone once in awhile. Have you…

My book trailer was recently released. My publisher made it for me, which was great because I know nothing about making them. I love how it turned it. I posted it on my website, Facebook, Jacketflap, and Youtube. I'm not sure how much trailers…

These are all rather cool comments. I haven't got a book published yet, but I like the idea of book trailers.

Wow! There are many good ideas packed into a few words in this discussion. I don't have a book trailer yet, but I will some time in the next couple of months, and when I do, I'm coming back here to see what I can implement. I never would…

Headwind's trailer is on the home page of my website as well as on Youtube. Just getting started with this and looking for any ideas anybody else has. Great topic, Karen.

Ellen, happy to hear about Colbere's success! Chalet now has 12 authors spread from Washington, Idaho, California, Deleware. Our newest two novels just appeared on Amazon last week. Sales are good in the UK and Greece (don't ask me how we…
Ellen Dean replied to the discussion 'Looking For Promotion Tips' in the group Small Publishers and Independent Authors
I agree with Joyce. Big publishers do see us all as small fish, as do some agents, and bookstores.
I own Colbere Publishing - set up in 2009 - initially to publish my own books, after a costly self-publishing experience. I have never looked back…

Carol, I co-own Chalet Publishers, LLC. My publishing company was formed soley for two reasons: 1) Big publishers see us all as small fish in a very big literary pond. Chances are slim of ever getting picked up
2) Chalet is much better than…

Nicky Wheeler-Nicholson Brown said… - Hi Karen, Welcome to the Southern Writers Group. I enjoyed reading your blog and about your book. I've put it on my must read list as I love mysteries and this one looks great. I'm from the Gulf Coast so I probably won't be reading anything anytime soon until some sort of normalcy kicks in. In the meantime please go over and introduce yourself to the group either on the comments page or Zetta's role call discussion. We've got several new activities popping up soon and I can tell you'll be a great addition to the group! Best, Nicky

And I'll definitely watch for your anthology. I'm just finishing up a novel for Random House / Ballantine that is in part a mystery, and is set on a (fictional) Chesapeake Bay island. :-)
Best,

I try to post a short story every two days at the very least and my goal is to offer a platform for writers to present their work as well as promote books, website, blogs, etc. Anyone interested in posting a story can contact me at kcantwell02@comcast.net.
Looking forward to this adventure and the comaraderie!
