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

Good morning everyone!
I'm pleased to announce that "The Room of Death," Book 3 of "The Noricin Chronicles," is now here! To find out where you can order your copy today, visit: http://noricin.webs.com/wheretobuy-trod.html
Following in the steps of JS Chancellor and Neil Gaiman, to celebrate the release of "The Room of Death," for the month of May I'm making the e-book of "The Lost Boy" available for FREE! Yes, FREE! To take advantage of this promotion, just enter the discount code WD62W when you purchase the e-book at Smashwords ( http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/36826 ).
For those, like myself, who still prefer physical books, I'm also offering a promotion for the month of May to get 25% off of purchases of "The Lost Boy" ( https://www.createspace.com/3467647 ) and "The Gottlehrling Goblet" ( https://www.createspace.com/3532032 ). Just enter the discount code URJVH2NS upon checkout at CreateSpace!
I am also pleased to announce that "Scorpio Rising" - the fourth installment of "The Noricin Chronicles" - will be published on July 5th, 2011, and the mini book trailer for "Scorpio Rising" will be going on-line on June 1st, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for updates about those releases!
For those who knew about my previous plans to release all twelve books between now and December 2012, after careful consideration I have decided to revise my original release schedule. "Scorpio Rising" will be the last new release for 2011, however I will be publishing a special hardcover omnibus edition of books 1-4 toward the end of this year. Books 5-8 will be released over the course of 2012, and books 9-12 will be released over the course of 2013. I hope that doesn't disappoint too many readers, but the change of schedule really was necessary for my own sanity as well as other marketing considerations.
Happy reading,
Mark Sheldon
