Another poem inspired by Lucy of Blonde Write More! Promoting your book without a publisher’s help…
Promotion Overdrive Won’t you read my book Oh God, please, just take a look It’s taken me all this time to write I’d appreciate it if you might. And I don’t mean just a chapter or two The whole book please – then leave a review Can I guest post on your site A blog tour date, if I might? Come, like my page on Facebook I’m an author now, just take a look I’ve author-ised my Twitter name Thousands of followers would be insane Building up my Instagram feed Because seeing my cover is what you need Readers like a giveaway A little give here will eventually pay Writing books is hard enough But promoting them is just as tough Ritu 2019
Next week, blurb time!
But I Smile Anyway...

You certainly got that poem right, Ritu! Writing a book’s a doddle compared to publishing and selling it! (Especially if you’re not technically minded, like me…) x

Writing is fun and you totally thrive in it. But I can tell from experience that promoting is more time and energy consuming!

Gosh, it is! At least you are having your social net. But other than that it is really hard work to only find out what all can and should be done. And then it is tough to get it done!
