Hello Reader,

How will readers know your book exists if you don't have some way to let them know when it comes out? You absolutely need to think about what comes AFTER you finish writing.

Apart from uploading book files to Amazon, every writer needs a website presence.

A website presence doesn't mean a blog. There are simpler and cheaper options, such as doing an interview on somebody else's website.

This Week's Ten Questions Feature

This week I'm featuring an interview with Lorraine Dusky. Her memoir, HOLE IN MY HEART, has just launched, and her e-books are still at the special launch price of $2.99. If your life has been touched by adoption, you should grab a copy now. On April 10 the e-book price goes up to $9.99.

Here's the link to the post. -->> TEN QUESTIONS FOR LORRAINE DUSKY​

Permanent Real Estate

My Ten Questions feature gives writers who don't yet have a following "a website presence." It's a permanent place on the internet that will be there without you having to do anything about it. But you can, of course. Just having your work featured on someone's blog adds credibility.

So how would Ten Questions benefit you and your book? Well, you could Tweet, post to Facebook, or share on Instagram, using hashtags that are used by avid readers, such as #bookstagrammer or #booklover. They say people have to be reminded seven times before they click the buy button.

The payback for me is that I have a chance to get to know my subscribers and tailor blog posts to your needs.

Special Feature on How to Launch a Book

I know a lot of you need info on how to launch a book. I'm working on that. I'll break the launch down into simple, actionable steps. In my next email, I will send you a link so that you can download a launch plan that should work for your book, too.

Meanwhile, if you'd like me to feature your book, get in touch by e-mail.

Sincerely,

Marylee MacDonald
