That article about scary books and movies – I don’t think I’ve ever read a really scary book. Not too many really scary movies either. Real life is far scarier.
Real life certainly is!
Thanks, Elizabeth, for these links. I always find useful things here. I’m especially interested this time in the one about building a book launch team. I actually hadn’t thought about that before, but it does take a team. The more coordinated the effort, the better the launch will probably be. I don’t have a book coming out at the moment, but hopefully at some point towards the end of next year I will. I’m archiving this to help me then.
I find a book launch team really effective. I don’t think I’m making nearly the amount of use from the team as I should be…but I still have excellent results from it.
Thanks for the shout out. I’m honored to be included in your roundup.
Thanks for being a resource for writers, Paul!
