Links in this book are specifically for indie authors to advertise and publicize free book promotion days and to encourage honest reviews from reputable sources. There are hundreds of ways to market books, but indie authors in particular know the benefits of free book promotion days. Knowing WHERE to publicize those days and WHERE to look for book reviewers is the key to making the most of the promotions. All over the web, there are multiple online lists of book blogs and sites that review or share links, but most of those lists are woefully out-of-date. Many of those listed sites are dead links, links to sites that haven't posted in months or even years, or clearly state that they will not accept self-published books. For the indie author or even the small press author, those links aren't very helpful, and they consume a lot of wasted time scouring sites that aren't even willing to consider self-published books. So WHERE does an indie author go for current and relevant resources? Current Book Marketing, Review, & Promotion Sites for Indie Authors Finally, indies can save marketing time and effort by knowing WHERE to go for Current Book Marketing, Review, & Promotion Sites for Indie Authors.

Download or read book The Write Quotes Publishing and Book Marketing written by Landis Wade and published by Charlotte Readers Podcast, LLC. This book was released on 2023-10-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These inspirational and practical quotes come from 500+ podcast interviews with hard-working, award-winning, and New York Times bestselling authors in more than 33 U.S. states and five countries. In Book 8, authors share their honest reflections on Publishing and Book Marketing. Decisions. Decisions. It’s nice to have options. But it’s also nice to know how the world of publishing works, because there are pros and cons to traditional and indie publishing and these quotes include plenty of opinions about both. Authors quoted include David Baldacci, John Hart, Wylie Cash, Kristy Harvey, Brad Taylor, Charlie Lovett, Judy Goldman, Amber Smith, John Gilstrap, Kimmery Martin, A.J. Hartley, Jason Mott, Cathy Pickens, Danielle Stewart, Carrie Knowles, Ellen Butler, Gail Martin, Jenifer Ruff, Claire Fullerton, and many more. Brad Taylor, author of 16 New York Times bestselling thrillers, says, “I didn't know anything about traditional publishing. Honestly, if I knew how hard it was to get published, I wouldn't have gone down this path.” When he sold his first book, he says, “the dog had caught the car.” We learn that marketing books is not easy. It takes work. Creativity. And time. But it can be fun. These authors use websites, mailing lists, social media, BookBub, online advertising, promotion sites, and catchy graphics. And they appear on podcasts, attend book clubs, hold events in bookstores, breweries, museums, and homes, and they speak, write, and teach about writing. And when it comes to finding readers, New York Times bestselling author Kristy Harvey reminds us, “You're actually a lot better off to have 250 email subscribers that are truly interested in what you're saying, they're actually reading your emails, they really want to buy your book, than you are to have 250,000 that aren't even opening them in the first place.” Although there is no master blueprint to publishing and marketing success, these quotes offer inspiration and actionable tips for how to succeed at both.

Written by publisher and author, Terri Ann Leidich, and author marketing coach and support, Julie Bromley, this book simplifies marketing by taking the approach of Get Ready, Get Set, Succeed, putting marketing tasks into a logical order of what needs to be done and when so authors don't have to figure that out for themselves.
