Spread the Word

Publishing is the last great word-of-mouth business. So periodically, I like to remind people how important it is for readers to spread the word! That's how authors connect with new fans.

Talk to your local bookseller. Talk to your local librarian. Post updates or photos about your favorite books on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others. If you love a book, share your thoughts on Amazon, Goodreads, BN, and other sites for book lovers. Do it for the author's most recent book -- and his or her earlier books, too.

That's especially important as we enter the holiday shopping season. It really does make a difference in this very challenging business. So on behalf of authors everywhere...THANKS!
