The Book Marketing Network

For book/ebook authors, publishers, & self-publishers

Hello New Friends here at BMN,

I'm excited to share that my current book has had a fantastic week and 1/2! LOL. After hours, days, and months of book promoting, social media marketing on loads of book promo sites, press releases, and more, my book is finally doing well! My current book has been out over a year in print, and the e-book has been out less then that, but the work is starting to pay off.

I share this because when your a new, 1st time author, you really need to dig deep and promote, find your readership, and market like crazy! My current book titled, "Addicted To Dimes", ( Confessions of a liar and a Cheat ) is also a very hard sell. It's a memoir of my life with addictions, recovery, living with mental illness, and being a child survivor of sex abuse and trauma. So of course I have more then one area to market my book. But, even though it's about REAL LIFE, dark family secrets, and more, it still is harder to market then say a Romance or Thriller fiction.

I'm sharing this because I will be coming back and posting for you all the wonderful book & media marketing tips to help all of you increase exposure to your books as well. Authors helping authors is Kind Practice! I just recently joined here, and have seen some of my supportive author and writer friends here!
