Lydia te agradesco de corazon por el aliento, lo necesitaba. Hablo italiano, espanol, rumano e inglés. Gracias por el amable comentario y consejo. Lamentablemente, no soy una persona social, por lo que no puedo promocionar mi ebook, no tengo la màs minima idea de por donde empezar.
Un saludo que tengas una bonita noche.

- si no has subido tu libro a Goodreads, súbelo.
- Crea una página de autor en Goodreads (es la misma que la de un perfil de lector, pero tienes que rellenar algunos datos para que Goodreads compruebe que eres la autora del libro en cuestión.
-Prepara presentaciones físicas donde vivas, como en centros culturales, librerías.
-Únete a algunas redes sociales. Yo no las tenía antes.
- procura estar en alguna feria.
Son a grandes rasgos algunos consejos.
Suerte.

I'm Jane, pen name M.J. Franklin. I have written some scripts, but turned to books in the let's just say more mature stage of life. I have just self-published the first in a series of teens/young adult fantasy books, A Galaxy of Conjurors: Potens'Hand. It is available on Amazon. I live in BC Canada and it is also available in Coles Bookstores, Abbotsford, and Langley.I'm currently working on the second in the series and despite all the aches and pains that follow a day at the desk, I'm thoroughly enjoying this roller coaster.

Hi, Sherry, after I read your post, I went straight to look at your books on Amazon; they are now on my TBR list. I was puzzled because the author name shows up as Suzanne Corso under the title, but then as Sherry Jones beside the 'follow the author' section. Looking forward to reading them; I love to read books which lead me down a rabbit hole to further reading.

Hi Georgiana, thank you so much!
Hello,My name is Adam S. Sikes, I am a Sci-Fi / Fantasy writer. I recently, this year [Jan 2024] published my first novel Neural Echoes and am working on my second. I am an old tabletop role player (D&D and Cyberpunk 2020). Before tackling writing a full novel, I wrote lots of campaigns and one-shots for my groups. Along the way, I honed my skill at weaving stories and adjusting on the fly.
I tend to start most writing projects with a clear path and goal, but my characters, like the players at a tabletop session, start changing the story as I write. This keeps me on my toes and hopefully brings more life to the stories.
I welcome all kinds of advise from readers and authors alike.
Greeting Everyone,My name is Raven McKnight. I write high fantasy fiction. I published my first book of the fantasy Series Sword of Stars in 2022. Sword of Stars Book 1; Eternity is Not Forever.
I recently release the Book 2: Cursed Fates, March of this year.
There are six books total in the series. I like eclectic mix on genres, and enjoy mythology, ancient history, and classic fables and fairytales.
My name is Leah Dawkins and I am an author! Even saying that makes me giggle...I have been a nurse for 30+ years and decided to finally go after a lifelong dream of writing. Yep, a dream I held in my heart since I was in college, now a reality!I love sweet tea, Jesus, the south, yoga, hiking, and a really great book. No genre specifics other than the erotica...not a fan.
Hello folks, it is a pleasure to see so many new faces in the group. I have eight books published to my credit and the ninth coming out on the 30th of March. Most of my stuff is non-fiction (military history-Iraq War, How to Golf, How to Write & Get Published, etc. I am presently starting a children's series. If anyone wants to swap out publications for review, let me know. If you read some of my reviews, you can see that I put some effort into it. johnwriteshistory@gmail.com also on the web at www.johnwriteshistory.com. It is my sincere pleasure to welcome you all.

Hi y'all. My name is Lisa Marie Stephenson.

Hi everyone! My name is Jenny Kroonstuiver and I’ve just released my third Australian historical fiction novel. I write novels set in ghost mining towns and am fresh from a very successful book launch held yesterday for ‘The Sandalwood Cutter’. It’s exciting times at the moment.
Hi, I'm Chris. I write sci-fi/fantasy/horror short stories and have also self-published a YA story about a teenage zombie! I am terrible at marketing my work so looking forward to sharing ideas on this group.
Hey!my name is Gabriella Maureen and i'm in love with this app!
i'm a writer, poet, reader and student at the same time, i love getting to know artists and readers like me!
Hey y’all, I’m Jack Conlan and I’m a writer who has a day job as a lawyer. I’m new to all of this book-a-verse stuff and got into GR after I finished my novel. I’m clueless about this whole place but looking forward to connecting with some like-minded folks and learning as I go. I’m from the South but I’m not dumb about it.
Well, my day-job involves writing death notices. I wouldn't say it's creative but it is writing of a sort.Creative writing is a habit I’ve built. It’s like breathing, I can’t get through the day without doing it. It's an escape, therapy and play.
I read almost as much as I write. The best book I've read this year is Time Is a Mother by Ocean Vuong. A coffee and a poem is an epic way to start the day.

Hello, everyone. My name is Paul King. After nearly 40 years as a journalist, I retired from my "day job" as the editor of a foodservice trade magazine and began to pursue my passion, which is history. I have written two books of profiles concerning my hometown, which is Pittsburgh, PA. The first, "Iconic Pittsburgh: The City's 30 Most Memorable People, Places and Things", was published in 2020 by The History Press. The follow-up, "Colorful Characters of Pittsburgh", was released in October 2023. My next book will paradoxically enlarge and narrow my focus. The geographic area will expand to include the state of Pennsylvania, while the subjects will be confined to women. The working title is "Trailblazers and Influencers: Pennsylvania Women Who Have Impacted History."
Hi everyone! My name is Kimmie Anne. I am a Critical Care Nurse from Ohio who is working on finally getting her first book published...if I can ever stop myself from rewriting and editing it.

Hi,My name is Jeff Senior and I've been a member for a few months although I haven't introduced myself up to now,
I live in West Yorkshire, in the north of England, and I'm an avid reader as well as a debut author.
I'm mainly interested in crime and thrillers (Harlan Coben, John Grisham), historical novels (Bernard Cornwell) and some horror (Stephen King). I mainly read when I'm on holiday, in between lots of walking and some eating and drinking. So I've entered the reading challenge at 15 books for the year.
I completed five when we were away in January-February, will probably do another five when we go away again in April and then complete the challenge in October when we're away.
My debut novel, "The Itch That Couldn't Be Scratched", was published on 1 March and is available on Amazon and elsewhere. It's a tale of obsession, of one man's quest to obtain justice for a woman he never knew, and the effect it has on those around him. I hope you'll read and like it

I am 33 years old. Since I was a child, I dreamed of writing but never had the courage. Now, I have realized a dream i had kept un my drawer, managing to translate my imagination and fantasy into words.
