Well, I have to say that it’s been quite the busy year so far, and we’re not even four months into 2015 yet. I’ve been getting a lot of questions about different projects of mine, so I figured I’d go ahead and answer everything all at once in one big post. Here is all the book news from me for the remainder of 2015!
The Big, Scary Book is Revealed!
So here’s my news. This went out in my newsletter yesterday, as those folks get all the book info first (if you want to be one of those people, you should subscribe here). I’m sharing it now with the rest of the world, as I’m fairly sure anyone who was going to read that has read it by now. Ready? Here goes…
Cover Reveal: INTO THE FIRE by Michele G. Miller
I have something AWESOME to show you guys today! My authorly sister-from-another-mister, Michele G. Miller, has a new book coming out soon, and today I get to show you the cover! Check out the gorgeousness of Into the Fire!
Got Swag?
So, I’m way, way behind in posting this, but house repairs from a water leak, a sudden influx of design work, and a book release sort of piled on top of me all at once. But now, I’m back at it and am here to bring you another post in the indie author cost/recoup series. This time, we’re talking about physical promotional costs.
The Stillness of the Sky Release Day and Tour Info!
Happy book birthday to me! My tenth published novel is now live in both ebook and paperback formats, and is free for Kindle Unlimited subscribers!
Find both formats of The Stillness of the Sky here on Amazon
Once Upon A Giveaway
I know I’ve promised a post on promo materials, and that’s coming soon, but I’ve been absolutely swamped with design clients, and post-water-leak reconstruction around the house, and of course release day prep, so bear with me. I swear it’s coming.
In the meantime, I’ve been posting giveaway teasers over on my Facebook Author Page for the last two weeks, and it’s time to reveal the whole prize pack! Beginning tomorrow, this will be up for grabs via rafflecopter for The Stillness of the Sky blog tour! [Read more…]
Shaking Your Digital Money Maker
Another week, another post. This time, we’re talking about the advertising costs associated with book sales. Admittedly, this is the part I hate. I don’t know many people that like the marketing part of selling books, honestly. I die a little inside every time I share a promo post on Facebook or tweet out a link to my book. Mostly, it’s because I don’t feel like being my friend comes with the requirement of buying my books. I know a certain portion of my social media network is there only to hear about my books, but… yeah. Really not my favorite thing to do, and I’m probably a terrible salesman, but I’m getting a little better with the not-throwing-up-in-my-mouth thing when I do promo.
So why do it? The things above are free. It doesn’t cost me a cent to tweet my book or post to my Facebook author page. I still do it, because how else will people find out about my books if I don’t tell them?
What Are Words Worth?
With the holidays mostly over, I figured it was time to get back to business. Namely, continuing this little series about indie author cost and recoup. If you want to start at the beginning, I’d recommend going here first.
12 Days of Bookish Presents!
With the holidays upon us, I wanted to do something special for my readers to show my appreciation for all their support over the last few months. I came up with a little idea and rounded up a group of awesome authors, and here we are!
Working With a Cover Artist
I know I said I was going to talk about editing next time, but after thinking about it for a few days, I thought there might still be some questions regarding hiring someone to do a cover for you. In the last post, I gave some tips on how to make the DIY method cheaper, but I felt like I needed to go into a little more detail about the process of working with someone else for the cover, especially for those just starting out.
