Into the Fire

So I was wondering . . . what kind of marketing do I, as a reader, like? When an author introduces a new release or debuts their first novel, what do I expect, what do I want to see, what don't I want to see?

With indie publishing it's more difficult to get a book into the world of readers. Word of mouth or relationship must exist between the reader(s) and the author in order to make people aware of the novel. Goodreads, Facebook, Twitter, are a few places where readers can find their new and/or favorite authors. If they hear of a new writer, they can check out Amazon or other places for reviews.

If you prefer not to read reviews, where do you choose to look for new reading material? Are you subscribed to various book promoter notices? Do you receive Book Bub suggestions?

Your . . . musings?

Father, help me to be what you want me to be and to do what you want me to do. In the present and in the end that's all that matters. Thank you is never enough for what you've done for me. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
