Will be checking out a lot of promo articles between now and next April! Little rusty at it.
I haven’t done ads for a while, so need to be doing the same!
Some fabulous links here, as ever, Elizabeth. One of the first that got my attention was the one about rights reversion. It’s a very long story, but I would love to get the rights back for my first novel. Let’s just say there are a lot of roadblocks, and it’s good to have a guide to help me see if I can navigate them and get those rights. We shall see…
Hope it helps, Margot! I was able to get a reversion for my first Myrtle book. Not so lucky with the Penguin-Random House books, though.
