After the Auction is out! People are reading it. Many have even told me they liked, even loved it.
Now is really the time for BUZZ--specific marketing tactics like publicity, interviews, appearance, social networking. These are up to me. But what's the most important element? It's the reader who likes or loves it spreading the word.
Increasingly, even for established writers going the so-called traditional route of agent-publishing company-editor, it's the writer who must light the fuse to get sales going.
People who know me know how much I like to travel. I've had the good fortune to have ventured around the United States and around the globe since childhood. Writing After the Auction I've described as a journey, a long journey, with many fits and starts--and false starts—along the way. Like real travel, though, it's all a learning experience. As a little boy of seven once said to his mother before she took the exam that would propel her toward a major career change, "Congratulations just for doing it!"
Via the web site to get more details on the next leg of the journey. Some actual travel lies ahead.
Here I go!! Rather, here WE go! Come along, especially my satisfied readers. And, please invite anyone you know on this trip. More travelers means more BUZZ, more book sales, more readers, more BUZZ, more book sales, more readers, more BUZZ, more book sales, more readers,...
