Dan Koboldt is the one to go to for science fiction tips!
He knows a lot! And what he doesn’t know…he makes sure to get guests on to cover. Pretty amazing stuff!
Thanks, Elizabeth, for this collection of links. I’m glad you often include promo tips. I think that’s one of the hardest things for me, but it has to be done. Having those tips reminds me that I can’t duck it forever… ;-)
It’s a good reminder for all of us! Have a great week. :)
Thanks for the links. It would be awesome to meet President Clinton and James Patterson at a conference. The book looks interesting.
It does, doesn’t it? I thought that would be a fascinating conference to attend.
Thanks for the mention of the article I wrote. Added under Promo / Social Media Tips 3 Ways Authors Can Gain Visibility Using Twitter.
There are so many other great mentions.
You’re very welcome. Thanks for being a resource for writers!
