Ever since the release two weeks ago of Desperate
Deeds, my most recent Malone Mystery, I’ve been working hard to promote the
book. You see, that’s what we authors of novels published by small presses have
to do because our publishers don’t have the resources the big publishers do.
Most people think of the big names when the word
“publishers” comes to mind and there are still a number of authors published by
the big houses. However, most writers these days seek out small press
publishers. Why? Because, without an agent, an almost impossible thing to get,
the big houses won’t even look at a manuscript. As a result, there are many
wonderful books published by small presses every year. I’m hoping you’ll
consider my books among them.
So, in the interest of promoting my book, I’m
hosting a local book launch event. I’ll be signing and selling copies of Desperate
Deeds. If you’re in or around Cincinnati this coming Sunday, I hope you’ll
stop by. I love to meet people who love to read! Here’s the information:
Higher Ground Coffee House

Happy Reading!
Pat,
ReplyDeleteThis is so true! You can write a wonderful book but no one will know about it unless you promote the book yourself or are fortunate enough to be picked up by one of the big six publishers who have large distribution and publicity departments. Wishing you much success in getting the word out.
Thanks, Jacquie! I'm trying my best!
DeleteI wish I could be there. The very best to you on this new launch.
