Hrm. The first step to stop shouting into the void is to realize that you are not in a void. You need to go out and grab some people. This is why I like Twitter because I can just follow and retweet and respond to the people I want, and then find out from them what social media content to produce to keep them around.
But who should you invite to…[Read more]

@taylorclogston I’m taking notes. That’s definitely good stuff for Amazon publishing that I appreciated reading.
Mostly the approach I’ve been taking is to build my social media platform and website before publishing any books, because that’s the approach that I feel comfortable with – I want to publish my books to an audience.
But it is a LOT…[Read more]

@josiah Thank you for the advice! I appreciate all that you do for SE members, and, though I don’t often have time to be active on the SE forum, the influence you and the other staff members have had on me over the past few months through the podcast, summit recordings, and emails has been invaluable. Thank you so much!

They are offering some interactive events, mainly zoom meetups I think.

I have some familiarity with that convention (at one point I was tossing the idea around of attending it in-person a year ago or so before everything else in the world happened) but haven’t kept up with it in 2020. Are they just offering sessions or do they also offer agent appointments and other interactive events?

I’m attending World Fantasy Convention online for the first time. Do you guys have any advice?

I just want to pop in to echo @zee. This has been a really informative thread thus far. 🙂
And @rebekah-elizabeth, you’re doing a great job of gracefully taking feedback and building a stronger plan! I wish you all the best as you continue to work toward an end result (both with your project and the trajectory of your writing journey in general)…[Read more]

Oh. It couldn’t have been that bad, could it? Better luck next time, I hope.

@zee No, no. 😄I took it down.

Yes, thanks for sharing, @daeus-lamb. Every little bit helps. What’s the name of your novel? Is it still available?

Sarahfi replied to the topic Shouting into the Void in the forum Publishing and Marketing Nerds 4 months ago
@zee I feel similar. I’m not published, but marketing feels so nebulous and impossible- shouting into the void. Exactly.
@daeus-lamb Thanks for the resources!

Daeus Lamb replied to the topic Shouting into the Void in the forum Publishing and Marketing Nerds 4 months ago
@zee A novel I self-published several years ago was kinda like that. 😄I’ll just name drop my favorite resources on marketing and self-publishing.
. Absolutely anything by David Gaughran.
. Kindleprenuer.com
. It’s been a long time, but I remember Tim Grahl’s book’s standing out.
. The Novel Marketing Podcast!!!
And this is something going on…[Read more]

As a recently (self) published author, I’m still trying to get my head around the concept of promoting/marketing my books.
Yes, I’ve sold a few books, but I don’t have a clear plan for how to go about getting them into the hands (or rather, onto the screens) of more readers. So far, all that I have done feels a bit like shouting into the…[Read more]
