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.

Hello Everyone,

I'm at the stage with my novel where we need to get the design and cover art together.

I posted several pictures on my blog to see what picture(s) people like regarding my cover art.

I'd love it if you could find the time and stop on by to give your input - http://bit.ly/qdGlIb

The blogosphere is a haven for aspiring Hispanic/Latino authors. However, nothing beats the joy of having your book published and distributed to bookstores worldwide. If your manuscript (English/Spanish) is ready for publishing yet you don't seem to know what options you have then  you're just in the right  place. Actually you have two options to get published.

Good Evening Everyone!

I'm very excited to announce that "The Relics of Time," Book 5 of "The Noricin
Chronicles," will be released on February 10th, 2012! The mini book trailer for "The Relics of Time" will be going on-line on November 1st, so be sure to keep your eyes out for that!

I would also like to remind you about my fundraiser for Book Aid International ( http://www.bookaid.org ), a literacy charity based in the UK. Running until December 31st, I am making available a special hardcover omnibus edition of Books 1-4 of The Noricin Chronicles - with cover artwork designed by yours truly - and I will be donating 100% of my author royalties for this limited edition to the charity. So, even if you can't participate, please help me spread the word about this very worthy cause! The book is available at this link (http://www.lulu.com/product/hardcover/the-steven-noricin-school-for...)!

That's all the news for now!

Happy reading,

Mark Sheldon
