What two or three marketing strategies who you recommend to a first time author in being successful in marketing their novel?
Linwood Barclay
That's a tough one. You don't mention whether you have a publisher or are self-publishing. If the former, they should be doing much of the work for you. If the latter, and you are putting your book up on Amazon, for example, I think social media (Twitter, FB, Goodreads, the usual suspects) are your best bets. But even there, if you do not have a large following, it's tough. I may not be the best person to ask, as I've been fortunate to have publishers do the heavy lifting. But I still do a lot of self-promotion on FB and Twitter.
