Charles Dickens was famous for publicity of his books . He did tours reading extracts to audience. He always ended the reading on a cliff hanger . Audience then wanted to know what happened next . So they ran out to the foyer and buy his book . 100 years later I still think that is genius and fantastic.

@EricHeidenAuthor Год назад

@ronoc9 Год назад

He serialised them first in newspapers and magazines before compiling them into collections, so by the time they were published he already had avid readers.

For fiction authors, write because you love telling stories and have a normal day job.

@paulakaye2108 Год назад

So, I basically wasted 8:05 of my time, (I’m a fiction writer). It would have been nice for that info to be in the description.

@menlikegods363 Год назад

Her book was shown in the thumbnail and it is clearly a "how to" book on writing memoirs. And really, what amazing act were you going to accomplish in your "wasted" eight minutes? Give me a break.

@Ruylopez778 Год назад

Talking about pre-sales and first week/first month sales and how Amazon is different was worth the time of any fiction writer, even if it was only a reminder. She also talked about the mindset of promoting a book. You might one day write a non-fiction book, or assist another writer who is writing one. Whining in the comments probably wasn't a good use of your time, though. And neither has it been a worthwhile use of my time to point out the obvious to you. But if it stops you whining in comments sections, maybe it was.

@chrisa3961 Год назад

I think most points are also valid for fiction. My tipps for online marketing for books 1) get people (of the genre you write in) intrested at least 6 month before publishing and talk about the book or the topic regularly 2) give the book as much as possible for reviews. It is an marketing investment that pays off - and the more reviews the better 3) podcasts! as she said, people are invested and actual listen actively. 4) if you can make a small fun quiz about your book and then link the result in a meaningful way to your book - that's great too. Not to do: paid advertizing for books is a waste of money! Otherwise in real life: organize readings with other authors, like a gathering or party, and invite people, maybe even sell cheap tickets. when people have fun they remember you in a nice way and buy your next book (like McDonalds children birthday parties :-))

@mel3687 Год назад

@@Ruylopez778 That's universal knowledge. It's no secret how Amazon's algorithms work (which is irrelevant to a traditionally published author--seeing as the contract is between the publishing house and Amazon), neither is it unknown that author platforms affect presales, which impact book release expectations and ultimately the amount of risk a traditional publisher will take (no platform/unknown author= tiny upfront advance, very little marketing budget, smaller window of success).

@mel3687 Год назад

This only seems to apply to nonfiction authors--seeing as Ms David refers to a book as a person's calling card to represent their expertise on a specific topic. That doesn't apply to fiction authors where book sales actually *do* matter.

That's what she said.

@Antigone-yp6ht 3 месяца назад

You have to build a subscriber list or audience and get reviews from them.

@donnabailey566 Год назад

My cousin was Toni Morrison and people sought her out for her blurbs on their books all the time. Ms. David, with all due respect, is certainly not in her league, so her comments that blurbs on a book are not important is simply not true. Status is still a very important element in the arts and entertainment community. If you're into literature, a blurb from a famous author is definitely a big deal to the person buying the book. To be honest, I've never heard of this author before this interview. entertainment community

@chrisa3961 Год назад

I really like e.g. Stephen King. But I wouldnt buy a book because he said he liked it. or anybody. People buy books because they love the genre, the author or because it seems popular. Not because somebody blurbs the book. The actual blurb might be more important than the testimonial.

@mel3687 Год назад

@@chrisa3961 Agreed. That's why places like Goodreads and Amazon reviews are important. People put more weight in reviews than they would a silly blurb. Besides, readers know that authors support each other so authors will kindly promote another author's work despite its quality.

@ericpurkall4417 10 месяцев назад

Audience equals exposure. Message received

@PeterStanton Год назад

Maybe I'm an exception, but I have given books a lot more credence because of names I saw in the blurbs. And I do really hope I can get one or two of the most prominent people in my subject area to write a blurb for my book. I feel like they can lend a book a lot of legitimacy right up front.

Does this apply to YA?

@samantaluna3870 Год назад

Tiktok and RU-vid promotion for YA, especially reviews by Booktokers and Booktubers. They can be really influencial in sales when it comes to book. Think Sarah J Mass and Colleen Hoover. And try to pitch your book to streaming services. If you have a teen romance or YA fantasy, placing your first draft in places like Wattpad can be really good to get attention. Also they have their own studios.

@Manned0Missiles Год назад

All valuable, but shes obviously from a nonfiction background. I'm not sure how applicable 80% of this is for fiction authors.

@stopthelies4249 Год назад

If you wrote a book in a week, probably not worth reading and even if you write war and peace without promotion it’s not going to sell promotion cost money, and a lot of it number to writing a book these days are a waste of time and less you worked in the White House during the Trump administration or you’re in the royal family
