Thirteen Promotional Choices by Mimi Barbour

122 Views

Together for ChristmasTogether for Christmas – see video here

 

 

1. I guess the very first thing I did after writing my first book was to look for a writer’s group in my area. Thankfully, my research took me straight to the Romance Writers of America and, much to my delight, I found the Vancouver Island Chapter. (VIC-RWA) Without the guidance of others like me, I’d still be floundering around and wondering who to turn to and what to do next. All authors need support from their peers, and let me tell you, the input from their collective knowledge was invaluable.

 

 

2. Website – This was my first endeavour into trying to promote myself and my books, and since I want to be truthful, when I'd started in the business, I was basically a coward when it came to technological challenges, I hired a wonderful web mistress (Rae Monet) who not only set up my website, but has looked after that area of my work right from the beginning. 

 

 

3. Newsletter – Soon after my website was up and running, I asked Rae what were her suggestions about the best promotional tactics. She suggested starting up a newsletter. Her idea was that anyone who signs onto your newsletter is interested in what’s happening to you, and they will stay with you as long as you don’t inundate them with too much 'yada yada'(my words) about inconsequential nothings – write when you have news! This has been one of my best-loved choices. Shamelessly, I started the newsletter using all my personal friends names, and then we set it up on my website that anyone who wants to hear from me can enter their e-mail address. It’s lovely to see new people every time I send out another blurb, which I only do when I actually have something super to tell them (new contracts, books being released, contest wins, etc.)

 

4. Facebook – Does it work? Are there authors who don’t have a facebook page? Not sure that I get a lot of sales through this forum, but I must tell you, it is a great way to keep in touch with others. Just wish I had more time to spend there.

 

5. Twitter – About six months ago, I decided that Twitter would be one of the best ways to get news out to the big wide social-media world, and so I worked really hard, gave up many hours a day and started trying to build my followers. At that time, I had approximately 400 followers, and I am now over the 2000 mark. Again, was it worth all the hours I put into it, the effort it took and the time away from my writing?  I did meet wonderful people and wouldn’t give up knowing these new friends for anything in the world. So, yes it was worth it. And the proof came when just recently "My Cheeky Angel" the book I self-pubbed and released in September was chosen as one of five best paranormal books of the month, and I was able to turn to my friends on twitter where I know a great many of my votes came from.

 

6. Romance sites – About this time I went crazy looking for as many romance sites as I could find. I signed up for All Romance, Novel Sisterhood, Love Romance Café, Rites of Romance Reviews, Authors Den, Book Rix, you name it – I’m there. And I determined that they all have one thing in common. If you don’t interact often, they just won’t be of much help – and sadly, so much to do – so little time!

 

7. Goodreads – Again, I have to admit to taking on Goodreads with a lot of enthusiasm, which did wane after a while. It’s time consuming for an author – but well worth while. Because as a reader, and I admit to being a reading freak, it’s a wonderful place to find others who like the same kind of books as you. I’ve met some of my favourite people here, people who I now consider friends, and therefore I try and spend as much time as I can in keeping in touch with them.

 

8. LinkedIn – When I first became aware of this medium of promotion, it was because a friend had invited me to join. Being that I’m always crazy-busy and tend to dive in before reading rules carefully, I joined and the next thing I knew, I had given them access to my whole e-mail list who then received invitations on my behalf. Took me a while to get myself out of that mess, and I will say here, that the contact at LinkedIn was so kind and helpful. On that site, I’ve probably met more authors, like me, who are just trying to survive and make a few sales and it’s been one of my preferred places to be.

 

9. Wild Rose Press – Once I became published with The Wild Rose Press, I found a wonderful support team on their loops—other authors who were in the same predicament as myself. We try and help each other keep our spirits up through rejections, bad reviews, and even personal traumas. And, we’re also there to cheer on the good news. Unfortunately, like everything else, there just isn’t enough time to keep in touch daily. I wished there was for they are a great bunch.

 

10. Savvy Authors – Again, this is another site I have to peek in on periodically. It’s a great place to share news of a blog you’ve written or if you’re a guest with someone else. The writers here are supportive and will interact with you as long as you reciprocate. As on any of the loops, if you don't give – you won't get! But sadly…not a lot of time!

 

11. Guest blog – I love to be a guest and tried hard to get on as many blogs as I could handle. I do believe that if enough people visit the page, it can result in sales…with a good excerpt and a well-written post, that is. Writing new blurbs for each of these opportunities takes a lot of time and effort, but it is a way to get out of your own zone and in front of strangers—hopefully readers looking for a new author to follow. It also helps you to meet bloggers who love to support you and will go out of their way. But there is one very important drawback and uses up the sand in your timer. Those blogs have to be promoted on your loops, facebook, twitter, etc so there will be people to come and read them. And they need to be attended so you can keep up with the comments.

 

12. Your own Blogsite – This was my latest attempt of promoting my books. (I know! Why wasn’t it my first!?) I just started up my Blogspot “Believe!” in October and couldn’t…ahhh believe that amount of traffic that ended up there. So, now I’m thinking – did I do this wrong? Should my blog have been the first step in getting my books out 'there'? I’m thinking probably YES!!! Today a blog is such a personal way to interact with readers, that it’s a must for all authors who feel they can handle the extra work. Of course, to my credit, I probably couldn’t have handled the technical aspects a few years ago when I first started in the business. But now…I have a back-list of books, I’m much more computer savvy to the point where I self-pubbed the 1st in my series Angels with Attitude, and I've even made a trailer for my newest release Together for Christmas. See how far I've come? I've upgraded from DUHH I can't do that to I'll figure it out somehow! And you can do the same.

 

13. Trailers – My latest step into the world of advertising was to make my own trailer for my latest release for The Vicarage Bench Series "Together for Christmas". You can see it here on this blog. For me, this was a huge step forward because I had no idea about the creative world of photos and what to do with them except to be able to download them from my digital camera. But How-to videos on U-tube are the most wonderful inventions, and between Windows Live Movie Maker, stubbornness and 12 tries, the movie is up on  Utube  – not perfect but the next one will be better. The best part…it was free!!

 

So my friends, whatever you decide to use as promotional avenues, and in whatever order, please understand one important and absolute fact – you need really well written books to promote. So take the time to become a good writer. Take the workshops and courses to help you get published, and then believe in yourself.

 

And…the best advice I can offer you in this business is to follow the Golden Rule – do unto others… I wish you all the best!

    Some great tips here, Mimi (if not a little bit daunting ~g~)!  Thanks for sharing.

  • Nancy Jardine

    Thanks, Mimi. i just noted a few places you've mentioned and if I, too, make time I'll check them out!

  • Angela

    Great list, Mimi! Thanks for sharing!

  • CF Winn

    Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to write this post. I am going to bookmark it, retweet you on twitter, post you up on FB, and I'll reread it several hundred times. I can use it to improve on some of the things I'm already doing, and I see that there is also MUCH to learn.  You are on my gratitude list for the day…and for the next few years if any of these tips help improve my situation….LOL…wishing you many blessings and tons of CHEERS!  *CLINK*

  • Gail MacMillan

    Wow, Mimi!  Amazing promotional work.  Keep up the great work.

  • Mac Crowne

    Great info, Mimi. And daunting, I'll admit, but taking things one step at a time, it's amazing how much can be done. Thanks for sharing.

  • Alana Lorens

    I've tried most of those methods, but what I find is the best use of my time is blog exchanges, and then writing new material and getting more books out there. 🙂

  • Judy Nickles

    Great round-up of MUSTS here, Mimi!

  • Mimi Barbour

    Thank you everyone for your kind words. I must admit that this list is daunting, but not all of the items need to be followed. Two that do…write a great book and get out there and make friends. If I can ever be of help to any of you, just let me know.
    xo Mimi

Interview with Celia Breslin 
We are thrilled to have author Celia Breslin with us today. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to give readers a chance to get to know more about you and your work. While some questions may be traditional, you’d be surprised at what readers connect to. Sometimes the simplest ‘I can relate to that’ grabs their interest where nothing else can. So, let us begin.

Can you share a little something about Celia Breslin that’s not mentioned in your bio on your website?

Sure! I play piano, and I like to sing. Used to be a soprano, but now I’m more of an alto. I also like to work out every day. Weight training, cardio, walking, etc.

How long have you been writing?

I’ve been writing stories since I was a kid. Mostly short stories back then. After college, I moved on to novella and novel-length work. I still do write the occasional short story, including The Night Hag, a dark modern fairy tale I wrote for Halloween 2023 (free to my newsletter subscribers).

What have you found most challenging about it?

I have more story ideas than I have time, LOL. 

What does writing do for you? Is it fun, cathartic, do you get emotional?

Writing is definitely fun and fulfilling. I do get emotional about my stories, especially when I’m throwing all sorts of problems at my main characters. But then I get to cheer them on when they overcome the obstacles and achieve their HEA.

Describe what your writing routine looks like. Are you disciplined with a strict schedule, or do you have to be in the mood?

I try to write regardless of my mood. I like to stay connected to my WiP, so daily writing is a must.  I’m also an editor, so my typical workday includes both activities. Oh, and my daily workout!

Did you go into writing thinking that it would be a hobby or a job?

It started as a hobby when I was a kid/teen. Fast forward to adulthood…when my daughter was born, I thought, why not publish my stories? So, I started submitting my vampire series to publishers, and it was picked up. Writing has been one my job hats ever since.

Let's move on and give readers some insight into your personal life.

 What are your pet peeves?  Being late, drivers...

Perfect Tomorrows by Autumn Jordon 

Shay Morgan falls asleep every night and wakes every morning to the same thoughts.

Adam died. He wasn’t coming home, again. And she had no choice but to go through the rest of her life alone.

For Shay Morgan, the last two years has been exhausting. Life has been a game of hiding the heartache endured by losing the only man she’d ever loved. And she’s been successful. To the folks of Black Moose, Vermont, she appears a strong woman who continues to enjoy life through her work as a construction company owner and her many community activities. In reality, she simply has been keeping her pain at bay. However, with the death of a beloved friend and the return of a spiteful businessman to town, her good-natured, thin veneer cracks and she finds herself drowning in grief once again.

A chance encounter with a handsome stranger— who sneaks past her defenses and infuses joy back into her life— teaches Shay that love is never replaced by another, and in order to truly live a full, rich life, she needs to let go of her past. But can she trust him?

With a little meddling from the good folks of Black Moose, Shay and Ethan both might just get a lifetime of perfect tomorrows.

Perfect Tomorrows is a heartwarming journey about loss, friendship, and a second chance at love. Shay and Ethan’s story highlights that grief is universal, the healing process is unique for everyone, and peace and joy are always within reach.

The Treason of Robyn Hood, a dieselpunk adventure by D. Lieber Hi again. It’s me, D. Lieber, urban fantasy author, steampunk, and…well, and a lot of other things. As I mentioned, today is release day! Yay! I’m super excited to tell you about my brand new dieselpunk adventure The Treason of Robyn Hood. Check it out.

What is the price of justice?

As a ward of the Lacklands, Robyn Loxley has lived a privileged life. Even now, in 1942, when another war ravages the world and people on the home front must do without, her adopted family is not affected by the rations and shortages.

That’s not to say she hasn’t been affected by the war personally. As Robyn hits yet another roadblock in her quest to see her best friend Will, trapped in a Japanese-American concentration camp, she stumbles onto the people of Sherwood.

With dark truths revealed about the Lacklands and what really goes on in Midshire, Robyn must answer what justice means to her and what she’s willing to do to exact it.

Robyn and the merry band get an update in this dieselpunk adventure.
My thoughts
I can’t tell you how excited I am to share The Treason of Robyn Hood with the world. I’ve always loved Robin Hood stories, and I had a lot of fun playing with dieselpunk. I loved reimagining long beloved characters and putting them in a new setting.

One of the things I wanted to do with this book is to have a version like the old Robin Hood storybooks (specifically Howard Pyle’s The Merry Adventure of Robin Hood). So, I hired an illustrator, and together we created a special illustrated edition. Man, this thing has it all: the full page ink illustrations, the Lombardic capitals at the beginning of each chapter. We even modeled the cover after those vintage sci-fi magazine, plus the addition of bookbinding tape like on those classic hardcovers.

Unfortunately, I am waiting on print proofs for the special edition at the moment. With all the extra stuff in it, it required a longer production timeline. But it definitely be out soon, so if you’d like that edition, check my website for updates. Or sign up for my newsletter, and I will send you an email to let you know.

Authors Dish: Blue Saffire's Favorite Hero 
October 2018: Favorite Hero
~ Blue Saffire ~
CTR asked:
QUESTION: Of your published titles to date, which hero is your favorite and why?

Blue Saffire said:
I think my last hero Felix is my favorite for now. I guess because he is still fresh in my mind and because he is a lot like my husband. They all are, but this time I see a lot more of him in this character.

Brothers Black 5: Felix the Watcher Brothers Black Series 
[Contemporary IR Romance]

I’m a P.K., a pastor’s kid. I’ve done almost everything I’ve been told since I was a little girl,—no matter how confining that has felt. I’ve hidden my dreams and desires to toe the line. 

So imagine the burn of being blamed for something you didn’t do.

There has only ever been one person that truly gets me. He’s the only one that knows who I want to be. Felix Black. He’s been there for me for as long as I can remember. Always listening, always watching, always teaching, always encouraging me. 

Which is why I shouldn’t be shocked when he finds me. 

It’s my job to watch. To be the eyes for everyone else. I guess that’s why my best friend tasked me with watching over his sister. Yet, that’s something he never had to ask for. 

Guilt for what I’ve missed isn’t what has me determined to give Kaye the world. I’ve loved her forever. I will always make sure she’s alright. 

And he does give me the world. Felix has the key that unlocks what’s been hidden. His love, his touch, his attention sets a fire that blazes a trail, leaving nothing but black smoke in its wake. When the smoke settles, we’ll just have to see what’s left.

QUESTION: Of your published titles to date, which hero is your favorite and why?

Blue Saffire said:
I think my last hero Felix is my favorite for now. I guess because he is still fresh in my mind and because he is a lot like my husband. They all are, but this time I see a lot more of him in this character.

Brothers Black 5: Felix the Watcher Brothers Black Series
[Contemporary IR Romance]

I’m a P.K., a pastor’s kid. I’ve done almost everything I’ve been told since I was a little girl,—no matter how confining that has felt. I’ve hidden my dreams and desires to toe the line.

So imagine the burn of being blamed for something you didn’t do.

There has only ever been one person that truly gets me. He’s the only one that knows who I want to be. Felix Black. He’s been there for me for as long as I can remember. Always listening, always watching, always teaching, always encouraging me.

Which is why I shouldn’t be shocked when he finds me.

It’s my job to watch. To be the eyes for everyone else. I guess that’s why my best friend tasked me with watching over his sister. Yet, that’s something he never had to ask for.

Guilt for what I’ve missed isn’t what has me determined to give Kaye the world. I’ve loved her forever. I will always make sure she’s alright.

And he does give me the world. Felix has the key that unlocks what’s been hidden. His love, his touch, his attention sets a fire that blazes a trail, leaving nothing but black smoke in its wake. When the smoke settles, we’ll just have to see what’s left.
