Today SORMAG's Lashaunda Hoffman is here to participate in our 1question author interview series.
Hi Dee,
Hope all is well with you.
What is the best way to promote a book release?
As the Princess of Online promotion, I’m going to suggest online. I’ve found you can reach all types of readers this way. Many of these ways are low cost.
Blogs - If you have friends with blogs ask them to introduce you and your book. They could even do an interview with you.
Forums - Most writers belong to one or two forums. You can be a guest on these forums, discuss a topic and of course plug your book.
Chats - People are still chatting, so schedule a few and discuss your book or chat about a subject you know well.
Websites - You can promote you book, by featuring an excerpt on your or asking your friends to feature one on theirs.
Online Radio - There are many radio shows looking for authors to interview, introduce yourself and schedule an interview.
Articles - is a great way to share your knowledge and you can promote your book in your byline.
Online you can promote on online bookstores, book clubs and never leave your home.
