Advice on Self-Promotion

No, not from me. I stumbled upon this excellent article from Chuck Wendig the other day: http://terribleminds.com/ramble/2014/08/10/how-to-promote-yourself-and-your-books-without-feeling-like-a-soul-selling-sleaze-sucking-slime-glob/

A lot of the advice he offers syncs up with what I’ve heard from other people, and I can tell you firsthand how irritating it is when a writer you’re following on social media does nothing but spam his or her wares. I can also tell you that self-promotion is probably the single most difficult and confusing part of being a modern writer. Introverted as I am, I’m still trying to get a handle on how to do it effectively.

About prutigli

Patrick resides in Indiana with his wife and a medically challenged cat. He found work there as a stockman, fry cook, cart monkey, and freelance proofreader. Alas, writing is still the only job that suits him. During his off time, Patrick can usually be found attempting to recreate foreign cuisine, performing the solemn duty of feline waterbed and having spirited debates with his wife over the failings of Disney villains. Patrick’s novella "The Last Look" was published by Bleeding Edge Books. One of Patrick’s short story collections, "Wind Chill," is available via Crystal Lake Publishing.
