Hi Martha! I just completed my first novel, "A Season With Hope" and its available on all the online sites like amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, Google Play, Apple i books and kobobooks.com, among others. My question to you is how do I utilize social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, etc. to maximize exposure of my book to increase sales? Any other recommendations to increase visibility? Thanks!Drew

Hi Drew, Congratulations on "A Season With Hope"--and on the great reviews. I think you're right to focus on social media--it is such a key factor in book sales, at least it has been for me. It's a tough balance if you are writing your next book, since it's time intensive, but I would try and be active on all of the above. Maybe target baseball lovers with a few FB ads, too? Have you done a Goodreads giveaway? Those can really increase awareness.
Hope that helps.
