Tired of sifting through book marketing guides that focus more on the author’s life story than on advice you can apply to your career? Or, worse still, advice guides that are really meant for nonfiction authors and have precious little information for novelists? What about when an entire book reads as nothing more than a pitch for the author’s services or other books in his series?
We’re tired of it too. Every Novel Publicity Guide to Writing & Marketing Fiction is focused on you. Whether you’re an aspiring novelist who’s still trying to figure all this out or an established novelist doing your best to stay up-to-date with the hottest marketing tactics of the day, this book will deliver tons of action-packed advice you can put into practice today.
Genre: BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / GeneralWe're gearing up for a huge advertising program for all the Novel Publicity guides in all formats, including translation and audio.
This first part is essential, so you might want to start a document on your computer, open a note-taking app on your phone, or grab a piece of paper and a pen. (Yes, you can use a pencil.)
Now, what is your goal as an author?
I’ll be a little more specific. Sure, you want to write a book that takes the world by storm and makes you a bazillion dollars. That’s not what I’m talking about here.
Really think. What do you want to do? Are you trying to write a series or a novel or a collection of short stories? What type of author do you want to be? Do you want to use your name or a pen name? When do you want to finish your book? When would you like to be published? Which route of publishing do you want to pursue?
You might not be able to answer all these questions right now. Or, you might change your mind about these goals while you’re reading this book. That’s okay. You don’t have to know all the answers right away. I’m here to help you find them.
Your author goals should be:
Timely
Attainable
Specific
For example, “I want to have my manuscript finished, with editing, by June. I want to spend the next three months querying (trying to attract an agent or publisher), and if I don’t have an agent at the end of that time, I’m moving on to my Plan B.”
