How to Get a Book Club to Pick You!
[image error] In the digital age of Kindles and other e-readers, you might think that book clubs have gone the way of any other non-virtual interaction. I can personally assure you that you are wrong…Pistils was selected by at least two book clubs (that I know of) as a featured read. Considering it was our first venture into the world of indie publishing, I’m grateful and humbled by their faith in us. I’ve already been approached by one of those book clubs to read Sub Rosa as well, so I’d like to share...

Merging Your Goodreads Accounts
[image error]When I first joined Goodreads back in 2011, I joined as a reader since I was not yet an author. I did and still do love Goodreads as a reader; the sense of community and (what I feel are) more honest reviews than Amazon’s were a better-fitting home for my reading/reviewing style.

Time for Online Book Launch Parties!
[image error]
If you’re on Facebook, there’s a very good chance you have attended or at least been invited to an Event by friends or family, or you may have hosted one yourself. It’s a great way to keep track of who is attending while also allowing them to share the invitation, even if they can’t attend themselves. From a promotional standpoint, it’s an incredibly valuable way to spread the word about an event beyond which you could have necessarily done alone.
