Have you been to my website, lately? I have a lot there for hopeful and struggling authors as well as the seasoned author. New and veteran freelance writers can also pick up some ideas, tips and resources through the numerous articles and gigantic resource list. Of course, you can attend my presentations, read my books, enroll in my courses, sign up for an editorial consultation or hire me to edit your work. I offer a one-stop shop for the first-time, confused or overwhelmed author or freelance writer. If I can’t assist you with your particular writing or publishing difficulty, I can point you in the right direction.
Because you are accustomed to receiving instant gratification from my daily blog entries in the form of news you can use, concepts you need to know, tips and/or resources, I leave you with this:
Is your book conducive to book discussion groups—book clubs—reading groups? Do you know how a book club or reading group works? This is where a group of people (usually women) gather once a month (or week) to discuss a book they’ve all read. They agree ahead of time what book to read next. Some groups make a list of 12 books at the beginning of the year. They choose books that are interesting, in the news, with unusual plots/twists, that have controversial themes, that are recommended by other book clubs, etc. Some reading groups have themes: science fiction, thriller or chic lit, for example.
If you think your book would be of interest to book discussion groups, try breaking in locally or contact someone you know who belongs to a real time or online reading club. See if they will introduce your book to their group.
Locate book clubs and groups by doing a Google search. Here are a couple of sites that might help you get started with your search. Book Browse at http://www.bookbrowse.com/bookclubs Book-Clubs-Resources.com at http://www.book-clubs/resource.com
