If you're a published author, or soon to become one, then
it's likely you've pondered about announcing to the world the availability of
your brilliant book that you labored long and hard over. Welcome to the territory of book
promotion.
Lucky for you, award-winning author and editor Valerie
Estelle Frankel is an expert at creative book promotion and she compiled an
anthology of wacky, unconventional, but effective promotion strategies for
authors.
The BEST thing is that she is offering the anthology for
FREE over at Smashwords.
I was pleased to receive the invite to participate in the
anthology. I hope you'll enjoy my Christmastime
story. I am amongst the twenty
authors who contributed a unique approach to gaining attention for their new
release. This ebook has everything from silly hats to sandwich board costumes.
There's plenty of up-to-date social media advice -- Twitter, Facebook, YouTube,
and blogging. There's also advice for KDP free days and linking your book with
bestsellers. See how one author got reviews and how another arranged
bookstore events.
The just released ebook is currently only at Smashwords (for
FREE) and will soon become available at other online retailers. Download it and take a look. I'm sure you'll find some inspiration
for your next book promotion.
