It's been so much fun on A to Z this month but this week, starting today, I need to do some unrepentant self-promotion. My sixth published fantasy romance will be released Friday, April 29th. Tiger's Mate is the second book in a series that started out with one publisher but I moved the second book to a different publisher.
New Concepts Publishing contracted my first four romance novels and now are taking on
Tiger's Mate. NCP is one of the oldest ebook publishers out there. They've been successful for a long time when many other smaller publishers have folded. Lately they've been doing more and more to help their authors with promotion unlike so many big publishers who promote only the big names at their houses.
But all authors, especially me, must still do our share of shameless, unrepentant self promotion. I'm not a shy person but I don't easily speak and write loudly to put my work forward. Like most writers, I'd rather just write. But I also want to sell my books. I want people to read them. Therefore they must know about them.
So today at my publisher, New Concepts, I've the featured author on their
Manic Monday Promotion. From noon until midnight,
all my books are 30% off. A good price on what I think are good books, perhaps even excellent books. How did I do with shameless?
How good are you with self-promotion? Does your publisher help you? What kind of things has your publisher done for you?
