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.

And Jennifer Robins, your book about a "serial killer and an Author who is plagued by him through mental telepathy" sounds most unusual. Should be a winner too. I expect to see both your and Jennifer Chase's books for sale in the UK soon with a top publisher's logo on the spine!

Sounds like a great read Jennifer Chase. With your background — everything needed for a good crime writer — it should prove to be a winner!

Sounds like a good read, Jennifer. I also have a novel coming out this year about serial killer and an Author who is plagued by him through mental telepathy. An Author's Nightmare.

I just wanted to post a comment about one of our authors, B.R.Stateham and his new book, Murderous Passions. This book is a real winner! If you're a mystery lover, you'll love this one. They should turn this book into a TV series. I hear he has a second novel in the works! His characters in the book, Turner Hahn and Frank Morales, keeps you turning the pages! Please do yourself a favor and check it out! MURDEROUS PASSIONS by B.R.Stateham.
