51 Ways to Blog as a Novelist

We all know that blogging is one of the best ways to get attention in today's Internet world. A blog is a godsend to your website, bringing it traffic, fans, and more. But you have to post regularly.

Stuck for what to blog about? Here are some tips for novelists, but the same tips can apply to writers of nonfiction, memoirs, children's books, business books, and more.

  1. Review other novels, especially from other lesser-known novelists.
  2. Write a blog post using the voice of one of your main characters.
  3. Have that main character tell some side stories not included in the novel.
  4. Write about the setting - time and/or place. Use some of the research you did to ensure that your novel was accurate.
  5. Invite your readers to review your book. Feature their testimonials on your blog.
  6. Interview some of your readers: via Q&A text or via an Internet radio show or via a teleseminar.
  7. Podcast your book, one section at a time.
  8. Write about trends in your genre.
  9. Write about your favorite novelists, especially those that write in your genre. Include their photos and a sampling of their books.

Think Captain Bligh had it rough? Try feeding four sons, all with eccentric eating habits - to put it mildly. Pitcairn Island never looked so good...

One chapter from my recently released ebook, Guys and Other Near Humans: True Life Tales from the Testosterone Farm. (At least the family dog is female.)

Dear Joseph, I suggest you join Writers and Readers of Distinctive Fiction, a Ning group headed up by the very capable Lynda Coker. She has a review team--I'm on the team--and I think we do a good job. If you're published, and not self-published, she'll assign someone to your book. And by the way, I LOVE westerns. I write Western historical romances for The Wild Rose Press, but still, I read regular westerns at times. Good luck, Celia
