You've inspired me to revamp and split into two parts a small book I did a while back about writing. glitter noirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11728649916344336118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-50232148398888281892016-04-16T20:03:24.887+01:002016-04-16T20:03:24.887+01:00Dennis, I network and invite people on to my blogs...Dennis, I network and invite people on to my blogs.

You obviously enjoy the whole process!Lydia Bennethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328239009863878547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-44296094005627003662016-04-16T11:58:36.142+01:002016-04-16T11:58:36.142+01:00So much interesting stuff here, Wendy, absolutely ...So much interesting stuff here, Wendy, absolutely none of which I have ever done. But I will try, I will, I will. But one or two things puzzle me. How can you get asked to do a podcast? How do you manage to do book signings regularly? I've signed books twice in two years and one of those was at a launch party. 47 people came, said it was a great party (which, though I say it myself, it was), ate all my food and drank all my wine but only twelve actually bought books. I gather even that was not a bad haul!Dennis Hamleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08003209263201885118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-30669633998604445862016-04-16T09:37:06.071+01:002016-04-16T09:37:06.071+01:00All excellent advice, Wendy.

You can build something wonderful but if nobody knows about it they're not going to beat a path to your door. I think trad publishers expect authors to fully engage with all kinds of marketing these days as well, so this applies which ever route you choose. If we don't care whether the books sell or not then it's a different matter and a fairly enviable position! I wish all these Creative Writing courses at universities would teach their students a bit about marketing and the whole business side of writing. Some do but a great many don't.

I'd rather be reading - or writing the next book! Having said that, I take little encouragement to talk travelling, so I suppose I could call that marketing!JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127111575563904349noreply@blogger.com
