Marketing Monday: A Wise Group
Author Teri Brown has recently put together a group called, "Fiction Writers Discuss Publicity," and I'm learning a lot. It's invaluable to me as a first time author, especially.
Here is the official information, in case you wanna learn more about promotion and publicity, too:
This group is for contracted or published novelists to discuss publicity tips on promoting their books. Included will be branding, methods, how to create successful events, cross promotion and other publicity tips. This is not for spamming the list with book advertisements, but rather a place to brainstorm and get tips on promoting your book.

PS-That picture above is the Scholastic version of Violet on the Runway, done for the school book fairs. Different, pink and a little bit luminescent, right? But also fun. Yay!

It always amazes me when I see the different covers for books. If I was the slightest bit artsy, that is what I would want to be - a cover design artist. :)

Ooh, cute! I so remember going to those book fairs back when I was a kid. I was at another one recently with my stepsons. They haven't changed a bit.

I LIKE the new cover! (Original cover was very nice too, of course). I didn't see it at my sons' bookfair this week though...
