I'd also recommend giving away signed books to charities - they can raise money from it and will probably give you some promotion as gratitude. It's a win-win all round!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17561716477174576859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-6948008414310524212016-09-02T00:40:21.398-07:002016-09-02T00:40:21.398-07:00oooh....finish and publish!

As well at Twitter, there's your blog and Facebook which I don't think you mentioned. For children's writers there are school assemblies/school visits. First of all arrange with the school to let parents know that they need to send money in on that day and then sell your book (at a discount if poss) at the end of the assembly. This is what I did and it was much harder and far more daunting than writing the books in the first place!Rosalind Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363027308436257933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-69916320091090554442016-08-27T09:13:09.478-07:002016-08-27T09:13:09.478-07:00If only your blogging platform would have a 'L...If only your blogging platform would have a 'Like' button Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07086107947384034892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-62455897885165844162016-08-27T08:44:44.597-07:002016-08-27T08:44:44.597-07:00I love supporting other writers on Twitter, but wi...I love supporting other writers on Twitter, but with my work hours, I find it very difficult to spend the time interacting as much as I should to be a success there. I know it works, and have seen the results but I need to do more. As Jo says, you deserve your success!
