FORMULATING the GAME PLAN – PART 1 of 2
A typical book including the writing, through to the promotion of the book requires a game plan. The fact is, many who are new to the entire process overlook or don’t understand that many of the components must happen simultaneously and often many months prior to the actual release of the book.
The sample game plan timeline that follows is an adjustable schedule and is the ‘ideal’ version of the plan. Like pieces in a puzzle, once they begin to fall into place, a very clear picture of who you are and what your book is about will be obvious to your readership.





Phase One

Once you’ve decided to write the book, you will want to talk about it on your social media. Post about the process and build interest in its ongoing genesis. Many believe that they must wait until their book is completed to create an author page, but this is actually the BEST time to start your author page so that the public begins to know who you are.
If you don’t have the time, or inclination, to create and maintain a blog, then this would be the time to hire someone to create at least 5-10 posts a month for your author’s website.
