Crossing The Border made the Reviewer’s Choice list!
It’s been a whole new experience trying to promote my collection of short stories Crossing The Border to the world. Writing the book took years, then finding a publisher took more years, and now figuring out the intricacies of marketing a book by a small press has been an interesting internship of sorts. Yesterday I found out that my book made the Reviewer’s Choice list in the Midwest Book Review. The recommendation isn’t long or terribly detailed but I have to say it made my day as I’ve been sending out queries for reviews to many sites and book review bloggers over the past months. Sometimes I hear back but many times I don’t. Even when there’s a positive response there’s no guarantee that the book will be reviewed. So what do you do — keep sending and promoting as much as possible I guess. Sometimes it will pay off.
