I am still fielding lots of questions these days from aspiring authors. I guess I have a lot going on in the world of publishing! 🙂
People are wondering how they can create a buzz around their book, especially in today’s world when we are all competing for a limited amount of mindshare in a very busy world.
The answer, in my opinion, is community.
One of the biggest mistakes that authors make is that they see the “author’s life” as being isolated (in the proverbial writer’s cave) when the opposite– being involved in an active community– can be what creates success for today’s authors.
In a recent interview on my Positive on Publishing podcast, I interviewed author Christy Monson who has created a wonderful social life about being an author.
I suggest taking a look at the eight fun nuggets from the interview which have to do with getting away from the desk so that you can create success in your author life:
E008: Make Friendships on Your Publishing Journey with Christy Monson
You can also create community be reaching out to other podcast hosts or radio show hosts to add value to their audience. My children’s book (Where Does a Rainbow Grow?) hit as an Amazon’s #1 New Release following my interview on LA Talk Radio.
All of this complexity and confusion is why I’ve created a new ebook called “5 Things You Need to Know to Make Publishing Profitable and Fun”. Download it now!
