Book Promotion during a Pandemic

“The coming month shall bring winds of change in your life.”

My book, Mimi Lee Gets a Clue, came out last Tuesday on March 10th. It squeezed in right before all the upheaval started. I’m grateful I still got the chance to do a joint book launch that evening.

Pretty soon after, everything turned upside-down. As of current count, I’ve had two events cancelled, two postponed, and one still up in the air. Who knows what will happen next?

However, I am grateful for the solid support of the writing and reading community. Here are a few examples of kindnesses that I’ve noticed:

-Madeline Dyer started #BookPartyChat, with authors doing a Q&A on Twitter

–Reading with Robin is running Facebook Live videos and talking to authors

–A Mighty Blaze is a new Facebook page where author videos with shout-outs to indies are posted

-Erika Dreifus compiled a list of emergency grants for writers
