Create book club guide for your title
When promoting your book, you always should have a website, send out press releases to bloggers and mainstream media, and arrange book readings/signings to ensure the title is properly promoted. But those aren’t the only things you can do. In fact, they may not be enough. One marketing effort you might want to consider is creating a book club guide.
Often avid readers who enjoy discussing books form or join book clubs. You could create a guide to your book and distribute it for free to book clubs in hopes that they opt to read your title (which means their members then will buy your book). This works especially well for novels. Your guide largely will be sets of open-ended questions intended to generate conversations about the book. You’ll likely want to ask questions about characters, the writing style, the message, and possibly the setting. Read other book club guides and emulate the aspects you find most interesting.
Need an editor? Having your book, business document or academic paper proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. I can provide that second eye.
