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.

I am author from India. My first novel 'The Azure of Solicitude' is published and is now available online through more than 30 websites including Amazon, Barnes & Noble etc. I am getting thousands of responses in my website www.kaimaparamban.com From periodicals and dailies I could understand that Indian literature is widely accepted by foreign readers.

I have completed 2 more novels and one short novel for children. I am in search of an agent for my works.

Nightsweats in Bigelow Hollow is a character driven YA fantasy. The story revolves around Kelly Black, a college-aged heroine who is one part Buffy Summers and one part Nancy Drew. Kelly is reluctantly yanked out of her hectic but infinitely normal life and into a Twilight Zone adventure she won't soon forget. Her path leads to the unwelcome discovery of revelations about her family and herself that she might prefer remain hidden.

Now available at B&N online

My short story "A Gift for Henry" will be posted on the link below tonight at 9pm PST. It was written for my friend Henry Newell, who became a Quadriplegic at the age of 14 from a diving accident for when he was feeling down in the dumps.
