Today, a huge amount of fiction is being printed. It is difficult for a young author to draw attention to his book in the midst of a sea of literary novelties. But the situation can be corrected if you start advertising your work on your own.
Necessary
- - book novelty;
- - the Internet.
Instructions
Step 1
Arrange with a chain of bookstores to display your books prominently in genre sections and place them on special shelves, tables or cabinets, usually called "New Items". This method requires a significant investment of money, so it is usually not suitable for a beginner author.
Step 2
Request a review from a literary critic. Contact by e-mail the editors of the magazines that publish reviews of book novelties. Don't forget about online publications as well. If a professional critic is interested in your work, mail them a copy of your book. A positive review in a popular publication will significantly increase the sales of your book. If the review turns out to be negative, it is worth remembering that sometimes notoriety is better than none.
Step 3
Use the internet to tell readers about your book. Submit part of the book to one of the sites where aspiring writers publish their works, for example, "Samizdat". Be sure to respond to readers' comments. Communicate with colleagues on the resource, leave your comments on their pages.
Step 4
Share your book on various resources that readers interested in this kind of literature might visit. For example, if you have written a fictional work, you should promote your book on the resources of fans of books and films of this genre.
Step 5
Promote your work on forums for online games such as Lineage, World of Warcraft, Perfect World and others. On gaming forums, there is almost always a section dedicated to the life of users outside the game. Select the topic “What we read” or “Favorite books” in it and leave your message. You can cheat a little by introducing yourself not as a writer, but as an enthusiastic reader.
