Marketing Your Book Abroad? How About A Buddy System?Matchmaking for Writers: http://ow.ly/yhjpz @Porter_Anderson @mmatting
Oh I love these kinds of posts! Although I’m no being diverted from my original purpose to investigate. :)
Shah–Thanks! And, yes, these types of posts are the ultimate distractions…ha!
Elizabeth – Such a great group of links, as always. I’ve got my eye on a couple of these articles, actually, because of my WIP. And I am interested in doing a podcast, so that will help me too.
Margot–With your background in radio, a podcast makes a lot of sense for you!
A marketing buddy system – I know authors who’ve done that with great success.
Alex–I’ve heard some similar stories. Sounds like a great plan. And these buddy systems are to help writers break into a foreign market…so taking it one step farther.
Another fab list, Elizabeth – thanks so much! I’ve bookmarked a ton of them, especially the marketing/promo stuff, which I kinda stink at. ;)
Oh wow, I’m going to be here for a while. Such great subjects. Thanks, Elizabeth!
