Hi, Rebecca!! Do you think it is better to go ahead and start promoting your unpublished novel via social media or a website or something like that, or wait until you get an agent and/or publishing deal? Thank you so much, and I'm looking forward to Sister

Hi and thank you so much! :D

I think it’s always a great idea and fun to talk about your writing process, or to give some updates about what you’re working on, or talk about your characters, or share a few things like a Pinterest board or a playlist that corresponds to your book. I always love to hear about fellow author’s projects, even if they can’t share too many details yet.

I will say most of you promotion is going to happen after your book deal, when you are about a year out from pub date. You’ll have your cover art by then that you can unveil, and the official synopsis, and you can start sharing quotes and character art if you have such things commissioned, etc. It makes more sense to wait until then, because readers have the official release date to look forward to, and it gets them excited as that release date gets closer. 

But it’s truly up to you and what you feel comfortable doing! :)
