From contract to publication
June 14, 2018: This weekend I hope to complete the final read-through of
BLOOD MONEY (the first book in the Baker Manor Series), and sign off on Monday for release for publication. If you’re lucky to have a publisher like mine,
they will provide helpful tools as you work toward publication. One way is
through a weekly online chat for their writers. This week, they suggested I use
the next few weeks to prepare for promotion of the book. Here’s my first draft:
- Blog every week about the upcoming publication of Blood Money
- When the book publication date is set, notify the local paper and request an interview
- After publication, visit the local library with a free copy in hand
- Contact the local book store and request a book signing
- Ask local shops if you can place a few books in their stores (for commissioned sales)
In the meantime, cue the coffee.

Great advice. And while you're doing book signings of your latest book, have a photo of the cover of you're soon-to-be book so people will be more likely to remember and request one. Congratulations!
Oops... a photo of the cover of YOUR next book.
Perfect idea!
