Selling books is not easy. I am trying to get the marketing engine going. Finally, today, I put the initial publicity release up on PRLog. I need to add it to my "website." My page o'info, more accurately. I am hoping at least one person, contacts me regarding it.
I am also entering a handful of self-published, independent writing contests. I believe I will enter five total.
Writer's Digest Self-Published Awards - entered and mailed.
Next Generation Indie Book Awards - entered and mailed.
IndieReader Discovery Awards - entered.
The National Indie Excellence Book Awards - have info.
Independent Publisher Book Awards "IPPYs" - have info.
Also, I am going to submit to Midwest Book Review, in hopes of getting a review from there.
I still can't bring myself to pay $400 for a Kirkus Indie or BlueInk review.
With the publicity release officially out. I need to work on my power list from the main players in the wedding planning arena. I think getting some kind of press there will be worth any effort it takes. This will occupy my time until I can start winning contests. But really, just an honorable mention in one would be great.
