I've written a whole detailed marketing plan full of specific goals around increasing buzz and generating interest in my upcoming novel Black Cow, but being traditionally published I still have to wait for my publisher to give me timing parameters, which I have to admit, is frustrating, since the plan is there and I want to work it!

And I'm glad that you understood that no one should use every path I listed in the book for their own book. I did. That made it easier for me to tell folks what works best and what doesn't, but I wrote the book--in part--so no one else would have to go through everything to find what is right for them!<br />Carolyn Howard-Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041591136206289558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-66609490840732831362011-11-06T11:30:05.771-05:002011-11-06T11:30:05.771-05:00Maggie, good luck with your poetry book.

It's a good time to take stock of what we're doing. I have another book coming out, so I'd better take my own advice!Nancy Famolarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18276516645921716314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-75033103691154809212011-11-06T10:32:14.563-05:002011-11-06T10:32:14.563-05:00Nancy, great post and good timing.

With the end of the year closing in, we writers need to take stock of what we're doing to promote our books and ourselves.<br /><br />I doing a kind of 'spring cleaning,' by analyzing what's working for me and what's not, and trying to focus on my major goals. I tend to get sidetracked a lot. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://Karen Cioffihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492421057039326702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-11439280990306158662011-11-06T09:33:05.736-05:002011-11-06T09:33:05.736-05:00Nancy, I'm one of six authors of a poetry anth...Nancy, I'm one of six authors of a poetry anthology that's about to come out, so I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Poetry is a hard sell, but I plan to approach my local library about a reading. I emailed some I know who has a poetry blog, and when my copies of the book arrive, I'm going to ask a poet friend of mine if he'd review it.Margaret Fielandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12639464925210908450noreply@blogger.com
