I am kicking the marketing and promotion machine into high gear. Or, at least, I’m trying to. This part of the process is all new to me and it is a challenge to know what to do and when and where.
So, I’ve been blogging and tweeting about Mik Murdoch, but it seemed to me that, since I have my own podcast about getting published, I should talk more about the book here. Yes, I know what you are thinking: Mike has already talked about the book on several episodes.
What I haven’t done is have someone else ask me the kinds of questions I normally ask my guests and so, the idea for this episode was born. I asked one of my writing partners, JR Murdock if he would mind interviewing me for the show. I didn’t give him any questions, but asked him to put a list of things he would like me to talk about.
We sat down a few nights later and JR interviewed me for Get Published. It was sort of surreal, but it was a lot of fun. I hope you don’t mind this little bit of self-promotion while I talk about my own experiences with getting a book published thus far.
As if that wasn’t enough, I also talk a little bit about Advanced Reader Copies and how you can help me out with reviews. If you would like an ARC for review, please send an email to: author@michellplested.com with the subject of “ARC”.
I hope you enjoy the show.
