These days, social media is, by itself, not going to be of great help for those trying to get their books into readers’ hands, owing mostly to the highly charged political landscape we have all found ourselves in.
The best way I can find my readers is through hand-selling (face to face with potential readers; I love it, but it has its limits) and by word of mouth from readers like you.
MAY I ASK A FAVOR?
If you have read my books (Cul de Sac Stories and/or Intention Tremor), I urge you to help promote them through any of the channels cited here that you’re most comfortable with.
I have work in two recent excellent collections as well: True Stories VI and Lurking, and of course, Rain Shadows is on its way (preorders open on April 25th!). If/when you read any of these, your support through any of the actions listed above really does help so much.
Don’t stop there! I suggest you try this with all your favorite authors; they will be so grateful for your support! It’s like “smashing that like button” on YouTube… it makes a difference!
Even just dropping any of us a note of encouragement through social media channels, email, newsletter comments, or our website contact pages can help us stay energized with our current projects.
Here are links where you can help:
-
- Pre-order and other info for Rain Shadows
- GoodReads
- Amazon
- Substack Notes for Rhymes With Camera
- My social media presence: find and follow me!
If you do so, please send me (and any other authors you help promote) a link! We all sincerely appreciate the feedback, the thumbs up, the encouragement, and the boost your reviews, shares, comments, and👍🏽 give these books for anyone thinking about buying them or asking for them at the local library.
