Nitpicking the Gurus about
Promoting Books.
Below is the cover of Down Under Calling, my young teen tale about a grandma and a grandson, separated by an ocean, yet still managing to come together when needed - look for the"Google" effect!
Cover by Awesome Agy Wilson
It will be self published when I finish a few final tweaks
suggested by my editor.
If you want a book illustrated
Awesome Agy is my TOP PICK!!
Now we get to the
PROMO STUFF.
You MUST have the magic of the
Snipping Tool to create these babies.
Those in the KNOW say that people don't actually READ blogs, Facebook, Google+ etc - they SCAN the pages.
A few succinct words, combined with a great picture (or two) work best
to HOOK reader interest and make them CLICK that link. So, I have been
designing LOGOS to use, like the ones above and below - logos that make
my PITCH, without people having to plow through big bunches of words.
Those same knowing gurus whispered to me of NAME BRANDING. Like a ball point pen brings to mind BIRO. Like a cover for a cut means BAND-AID, and copy a document is XEROX IT!
Ergo. . . books for kids mean
Margot Finke - right?
So, add that signature to everything. . .
From your emails, to your underwear,
to your bathroom towel monograms - OKAY.
SO WAD-A-YA THINK. . .?
SPEAK UP!
DON'T MUMBLE
DON'T BE SHY!
I WON'T BITE!
BUT I WILL CRITIQUE YOUR MS
until it is "As tight as your granny's new girdle!"
*^*^*^*^*^^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
COMMENTS are pleaded for!
And the
Most worthy comment
WINS
a Kindle copy of my latest book
Your words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated. . .
as long as you think BOOKS FOR KIDS
whenever you hear the name
Margot Finke.
