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.

Sounds like a good trip. Hope you all have a great time. A bit too far for a UK grannie!

Dennis Griffin from this list has asked me to help plan a Mystery Sea Cruise to the Mexican Riviera next November. Looking for input, authors, publishers and fans. Cheapest cabins aboard the Carnival Splendour are $350 and there's no other charges for the con. Leaving for 7 days from Los Angeles. That's the plan so far.
Photos of our Caribbean cruise and author events now on my page. Enjoy!

TOME OF MIDNIGHT (TWO SAMPLE CHAPTERS OF STORY TWO)

Rachael's Christmas...a short story will be out in Dec.
Love can defeat the perils of a economical failure when two people meet during the holiday season and show their love by outstanding sacrifice for each other. The struggle of the big depression left many with little to live on and a slim to almost nothing Christmas. A young couple like Rachael and Philip overcome the devastation of the times with their love and devotion.
