There are a number of ways to market fiction effectively and it can honestly be one of the most difficult and expensive aspects of being a self-published or indie author.

Here are some simple things you can do to help sell your books without purchasing any ads:
A Great Cover

People really DO judge a book by its cover, so make sure yours is as good as anything you would see on a store shelf. Hire a freelancer at to turn your vision of your cover into a work of art. You can also purchase pre-made or custom designs from or . CreativeParamita has designed all of the covers for me Kiss Series. Aren’t they beautiful?[image error]

A Great Blurb and Teaser Copy

The “blurb�� is what goes on the back of the book. It is a short promotional piece that may consist of the books synopsis, reviews, and positive praise regarding the book and/or author. The teaser copy can be on the back as well, or on the first page inside the book (you can put the blurb there too). These pieces of content are designed to encourage the browser to purchase the book and read more.

A Great Author Website and Webpage

Be proud of your work and showcase it on your site. Also make it a place where you are accessible, and interact with people through comments, questions and so on.

See Yourself as a Brand

Brands like Coke, Nike and McDonald’s all have a unified marketing plan, in which every ad or other material build on the brand’s image and reputation. In a similar way, see your author name (or pen name) as a brand you wish to present in a certain way, and don’t want to damage or dilute.

If you want to write a different genre, create a different pen name and website or blog for it. For example, writer Nora Roberts is a brand synonymous with romance, and J. D. Robb, her second pen name, is synonymous with mystery and suspense.

I very clearly have branded myself Kiss Series with red, pink, white, and black colors and Lipstick Kiss marks. I use these in my Instagram posts when posting about The Kiss Series, if I am not using the book covers. All of my book covers also tie in together with women in dresses.

And while I also write non-fiction books, they are under a separate pen name to keep the brands clear.

Give Interviews

People always wonder what it is like to be a writer. Give interviews and post them at your site.

So far, I have done two interviews. I did one for a college paper back when I first released The Faithful Kiss and one for a podcast.

Attend Publishing Conferences and Writing Groups in Your Genre and Geographical Area

People do business with people they like. Attending live events and networking with publishing professionals, other authors, and aspiring authors, can lead to all sorts of promotional opportunities. It also makes you more visible and shows you are someone who cares about your craft.

Be Charitable

Giving things away may seem an odd way to make money, but “giving back�� to new writers or donating your profits to a worthy cause can create a lot of goodwill and show you are a good person, not just a “greedy author��.

Join Writer-Related Organizations

Romance Writers of America, The Author’s Guild and so on can all help raise your profile.

Leverage Social Media

Have a social media account for your writing at all of the top social sites, such as:

*Snapchat

* LinkedIn

* Tumblr

Keep fans up to date on all your news.

Create a Facebook Contest

Contests are a great way to grab attention. I will be holding a contest and giveaway in a couple of months to help garner excitement for the Kissed with Power: Polly’s Story (Book 2.5) book release. Everyone loves competition and free stuff.

Give a Webinar

Host a webinar about how to become a better writer and give attendees a special discount on your books. You can do this through PayPal or create a store for yourself at a site like Gumroad.

Get Book Reviews

As soon as your book is done, start gathering reviews for it. They can really make a difference when it comes to sales.

Organize Book Signings

If you have a paper book, organize book signings at bookstores, your local libraries and so on. These events are so much fun. You get to meet fans and talk about books. What could be better?

Follow these marketing tips and see your sales increase as a result.

Happy Thursday, Writer’s! The weekend is almost here! I hope you were able to get a lot of writing (or editing or publishing) done this week. Today we are switching things up a bit and talking about the business side of being a writer instead of just the writing aspects. We’re talking websites.

If you are a writer, you definitely need a website or blog. There are three main reasons for this:


You Can Showcase Your Writing

Having your own website is like a shop window online where people can read your writing and follow you as a fan. A lot of writers have turned to social media for writing and marketing, but the truth is that social media is here today and gone tomorrow.

In addition, the social media sites set the rules, not you. Even if you have 5,000 fans on your , for example, you might notice that you only get a tiny fraction of views. This is because Facebook rewards pages that have a lot of likes, shares and comments, and shows their content to more people. If your fans are not showing these “social signals��, your great content might not get seen by anyone at all.

With a site or blog, on the other hand, you can publish regularly and then let your follower know what’s new.

In addition, you can sell directly from your own site, cutting out all of the publishing middlemen. All you need is:

A PDF file of your content, such as a short story or novel
��A PayPal account
��A Buy Now button you will create in your PayPal account
��A download page for customers to get their purchase

You can also link to content you are selling on . Amazon will take a percentage, but they are:

The largest bookstore in the world
A search engine for shoppers
A safe and secure digital marketplace where you will get paid for your work every month
A place where you can appear side by side with top authors in your genre, such as romance, mystery or horror

Use your site or blog as the hub of all your activities.

Fans and Publishing Professional Can Learn More about You

As you build your reputation as a writer, more and more people will want to know who you are, including:

Fans
Literary agents
Editors at publishing houses
Writing contest judges
…and more.

Make it easy for people to find you, get your biography, and see your full list of works.

It Can Be a Writing and Resource Tool for Yourself and Others

If you start a blog (like mine), you can showcase your work to the public if you wish. You can show off your creative writing, blog about topics important to you, share writing industry news, and more.

WordPress also allows you to password protect content or make it completely private. If you’re like most writers, you probably have a lot of favorite sites, works in progress and more. If you participate in a lot of contests, put your work on your blog with the name of the contest, deadline date and so on to keep track of your success and publish it once the winners have been announced.

Store links, writing tips, your resume and more. Update your writer’s portfolio and biography any time you wish.

There are plenty of other website hosting companies that you can use, but I am a huge fan of because it is so user friendly, especially for people who are completely HMTL illiterate like I am. Use whatever works best for you, your goals, and your talents.

I put off creating my own websites and blogs for a long time because I didn’t know how to create one, what to write about, and I didn’t want to take the time away from writing my books.

But finally my writing friends had hounded me hard enough and for long enough that I finally gave in. It took me a little while to get the hang of it and to find my groove, but now I love blogging. I love creating websites, sharing my work, sharing my thoughts, and helping others. In fact, I have 8 websites and four blogs on various topics! ( You do not have to be as extreme as me, don’t worry.) Just one website about you, your writing, and the books.

Use your blog as the hub of all your writing and promotional activities and watch your career grow.

That’s all my advice for you today, writers! Come back tomorrow and learn about some time management tips.

Write on, Writers!

PS: Stay on the lookout for updates to the website. We will be adding a section of programs, e-course, e-books, webinars, resources on where to find cover designs, editors, and beta readers; printables, and so much more!

Hello Writers! Welcome to Write About It Wednesday! The primary state elections were held yesterday all across America. Did you go out and vote? Elections can bring out the best and the worst in people. They definitely can cause debates and cause emotions to run high. So let’s use the elections as a source for inspiration in our writing this week.

Today’s Write About It Wednesday Topic is Elections.

Write about an election that instigates a dystopian society.
Write about a journalist covering an election.
Write about someone voting for the first time. A woman getting her first chance to vote. The child of former slaves voting for the first time, etc.

This week our blog posts are going to be switched up a bit. We will be talking more about the business side of writing on Thursday and Friday. Stay tuned!

Did you enjoy focusing on Gothic Literature last week? What is your favorite genre to read and to write? Do you read the same genre that you write? Let me know in the comments!

Write on, Writers!

[image error]

��

[image error] is a sub-genre of romanticism consisting of novels and short stories, which emerged between 1800 and 1850. Gothic Literature focuses on the grotesque, desolate, and mysterious usually including supernatural or horror motifs to show the evil inside of humans. , , and use settings, events, and characters to create their own American Gothic Tales.

Known as the Father of the American Gothic Tale, [image error] story is an excellent example of how the setting of a story creates a Gothic theme by using the traditional components of the Gothic Genre. Gothic architecture played a large part in the influence of Gothic Literature and “The Fall of the House of Usher��, which takes place in a dark, gloomy family estate that is in a state of decay, stays true to this influence. The castle is isolated leaving the occupants alone contributing to the fear and madness that dwells within the occupants and their home as they, like their castle, are in a state of decay. From the very beginning of the story, when the narrator first comes up the House of Usher, the description of the home creates a gloomy setting.�� The narrator describes how the dilapidated house makes him feel upon his first impression:

“I looked upon the scene before me �� upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain �� upon the bleak walls �� upon the vacant eye-like windows �� upon a few rank sedges �� and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees �� with an utter depression of soul…�� (Poe 499).

The interior of the home does nothing to improve the mood or gloomy setting. The narrator claims that it is a place of sorrow. From the dark draperies and long windows, to the less than comfortable furniture, the atmosphere of The House of Usher was bleak. The spooky sounds of crackling and ripping against the coffin, the grating sound of the iron door that leads to the vault where Lady Madeline is buried add to the Gothic setting in “The Fall of the House of Usher�� as Lady Madeline tries to escape from being buried alive.

[image error]Events in by create the romantic Gothic theme of an obsessive man and woman who are in love. Aylmer becomes obsessed with a birthmark that he perceives to be the one flaw upon his wife’s beauty; in turn, this causes his wife to become obsessed with it as well, though she had believed it to be a blessing from a fairy. Rather than live with the obvious disgust of her husband she decides to allow him to remove it through the use of one of his science experiments. While in his laboratory Aylmer created illusions with lights that were ghost-like: “Though she had some indistinct idea of the method of these optical phenomena, still the illusion was almost perfect enough to warrant the belief that her husband possessed sway over the spiritual world.�� (Hawthorne 634-635).

Shortly after the spiritual light show, Alymer creates a rose for Georgiana.�� He asks her to [image error]pluck the flower, but when she does so, the flower turns black.�� This event shows that somehow the innocence and life of Georgiana has been tarnished. In the end of the story Aylmer, driven by his obsession with ridding his wife of this birthmark, ends up killing Georgiana with the potion he gives her.�� By the end of the story, Georgiana declares ‘”Danger? There is but one danger–that this horrible stigma shall be left upon my cheek!�� cried Georgiana. “Remove it, remove it, whatever be the cost, or we shall both go mad!”�� (Hawthorne 639). For she would now rather die than live with the thing that her husband hates, and in turn has caused her to hate as well.

[image error]In “�� Connie is a fifteen-year-old girl, who is our protagonist. She is a young, romantic heroine who wishes to appear older than fifteen years old. Connie does not attend church, which leaves her soul vulnerable to the temptations of the demonic Arnold Friend.�� Arnold Friend is the protagonist and represents a demonic, even devilish figure. Arnold’s shoes do not fit and twist in turn in strange ways, suggesting that his feet might actually be his devilish hooves. His transparent skin and crazy hair add to his grotesque appearance that does not quite mesh with his actions as he tries to appear younger, and even lies about his age. Connie begins to notice these things but it comes too late. “She recognized all this and also the singsong way he talked, slightly mocking, kidding, but serious and a little melancholy, and she recognized the way he tapped one fist against the other in homage to the perpetual music behind him. But all these things did not come together.��(Oates). Adding to the theory that Arnold Friend is a demonic entity, he is skilled in psychological terror as he harasses the young Connie, who is alone is her secluded house.

“Something roared in her ear, a tiny roaring, and she was so sick with fear that she could do nothing but listen to it—the telephone was clammy and very heavy and her fingers groped down to the dial but were too weak to touch it. She began to scream into the phone, into the roaring. She cried out, she cried for her mother, she felt her breath start jerking back and forth in her lungs as if it were something Arnold Friend was stabbing her with again and again with no tenderness. A noisy sorrowful wailing rose all about her and she was locked inside it the way she was locked inside this house.�� (Oates).

Arnold uses this skill of terror to lure the innocent, femme fatale, Connie out of her home.

Setting, events, and characters are all aspects used to create American Gothic Tales by Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Joyce Carol Oates. Each author uses these aspects of writing in their own style. Edgar Allan Poe creates the typical spooky environment with a desolate castle; Nathaniel Hawthorne combines the lovers and hints of supernatural to give us a lesson in the dangers of striving for perfection and messing with things that we do not understand.�� Joyce Carol Oates uses the more modern form of Gothic Literature showing that humans and modern day crime is just as horrific as creepy old castles.

We will continue to talk about Gothic Literature more in the coming days. In the next post we will talk about the elements needed for a story to classify as Gothic Fiction.

Happy Friday, Writers!

[image error]This weekend, as I mentioned on Write About It Wednesday, I am doing a book signing at , an all-inclusive convention for authors, artists, comic fans, general pop culture, and cosplayers of every variety. This will be my third year at Lubbock-Con. It has been an amazing experience each time. I love having the opportunity to meet established , while also reaching a new audience of readers. While this isn’t the typical book signing at a book store to debut a new book, the basic concept is the same.

Book signings, readings and public appearances are vital elements of an author’s marketing campaign.

Here are some tips and suggestions that can help you increase the number of books sold at a book signing.

DON’T �� Don’t just sit at the table they have for you. Walk around and greet people in the store or convention center. This shows that you are personable and approachable. Carry several copies of your book with you, introduce yourself to everyone, and let them know where you book table or booth is located.

DO �� Have a book mark printed and bring them with you. You can give one to everyone who comes in the store or stops by your booth. Along with the book mark I also have business cards with all of my websites and contact information.

DO �� Talk to people. It builds relationships. Be friendly! Tell people hello when they walk by. Ask them if they are having a good day. Book signings are no place to be shy.

DO �� Do get pictures with fans and people who purchase your books. When someone buys your book say, “Let’s have our picture taken together!�� I always use these as opportunities to post on social media and promote the event. Many people will enjoy having the opportunity to tag themselves in a picture with an author.

DO �� To help call attention to my booth and book series (), I put a red candy bowl on the table and fill it with Hershey Kisses. People will stop and look at the books and my booth (while they are unwrapping the candy). This also works to bring kids to the table (they are automatically drawn to the free candy. Parents are then forced to come over and take a look at what you are selling.

[image error]

DO �� Place a sign-in sheet or guest book on your table where your audience may provide their information and email addresses to receive special promotions and information about new books and upcoming events.

DON’T �� Don’t complain if you don’t sell lots of books. Signings make those who bought your book feel good, but they really don’t sell lots of books while you are there. Book signings are about getting the word out about you and your book. You are not guaranteed to sell many books unless you put the work in with promotional materials and advertising for the event.

DO �� When people stop by your autograph table, as you are introducing yourself, hand them a copy of your book. Many people will not pick up your book, but most will take it if you hand it to them. If they begin to read it, that’s your cue to keep quiet. My book sales at back of the room and at book signings have increased significantly since using this tip.

[image error]DO �� Show up with plenty of time to get set up or make sure your area is set up the way that you want. Also give yourself enough time to familiarize yourself with the bookstore or convention center and the employees who will be there during your event.

DO �� Have fun! Let people know you are there to have fun, even if you don’t sell any books. The manager of the store or convention often feels worse than you do, because they are afraid you won’t come back. Have fun! Create attention! Interact with the people who attend.

DO �� Be sure to bring relevant promotional items such as bookmarks and pens to give[image error] away to your audience. Any small item is a reminder of the event.

DO- ��Make sure your books are arriving on time.��Check and double check that your books were ordered and are arriving on time. Get tracking information and stay close in touch with the publishing and bookselling staff members who are responsible. (If you’re a small self-published/indie author, you will obviously be the one responsible for ordering your books from your direct print company).

DO �� Bring your own pens.��Publicists generally bring some, too, but don’t rely on others for this. Keep your own with you, just in case.��If you’re like me, you are super picky about your pens anyway. Make sure you have plenty on hand.

[image error]

DO �� Keep your cool. The number of moving parts required for book signings and conventions means may be a mishap or two. Every venue will be slightly different; some bookstore and event staffs will be more experienced with book signings than other, things don’t always happen as you would expect or prefer. Be polite, be helpful, keep your cool.

DO �� Thank everyone involved in the author appearance:��Make sure to write a note to [image error]your bookstore or event “host.�� It takes a lot of effort to mount these sorts of events and your thanks will be much appreciated. Plus, it will help you get fondly remembered when your next book is published.

DO �� Always sign your books. Be sure to ask the person buying the book who the inscription should be made out to. Never assume the book is for them, and always ask for the correct spelling.

DO �� Come up with your signature way of signing your book every time. I always end with “Read on! XoXo (my name) and the date of the event.�� With the upcoming Lubbock-Con event I will probably write something along the lines of thanking them for attending, or that it was nice to meet them. It is fun for the readers to have that memory of the event where the book was signed.

Have a great weekend! I’ll be updating live from Lubbock-Con on my author social media accounts (, , and ), so be sure to follow!

Happy Friday, Writers! I hope you had a happy Valentine’s Day. In the spirit of the holiday this week has been all about love and romance.[image error]

The romance novel industry is a billion-dollar a year industry. It is one of the most popular genres in all of fiction. Romance novel fans are extremely loyal to the genre and their favorite authors. And, the romance genre itself has a vast list of sub-genres with a variety and diversity that can entice almost any reader.

Self-published romance novels are thriving in the e-book market. Smashwords reports that 87% of their Top 100 Best Sellers are self-published romance novels.

While romance may seem like the easiest genre to write, and the genre and its authors are often looked down upon by enthusiasts of other genres, it is definitely not easy to write. The average romance reader is smart, discerning and not easily impressed. To create a successful romance, it takes a thoughtful strategy, plotting, and character and world building. A well-written romance novel won’t just happen magically.

If you are interested in writing a romance novel here are a few things you need to know:
Follow the formula.

Romances novels do follow a formula, and romance novel readers expect the formula to be followed.[image error]

The tried and true formula is this:

Boy meets girl.

Boy loses girl.

Boy gets girl back.

That’s it. That’s the framework within which you write your novel. Most romance readers will demand that your story follows this formula. But the good news is, there are millions of different ways you can write this story to make it your own unique novel that readers will fall in love with.

Meet the Readers Expectations

The readers of romance novels expect:

A hero she loves and a heroine she can relate to.


A believable conflict. Something has to keep the hero and heroine apart, and it can’t be a ridiculous mix-up that could be cleared up with one quick text.
A happily-ever-after. You need to create a satisfying ending to your novel. If you don’t you will completely ruin the story for your reader and, perhaps worse, discourage them from reading any other romance novels you publish in the future. The couple doesn’t have to get married or vow undying love, but it should be clear that they’ve resolved their differences and are mutually committed to one another.

Choose a Familiar Plot Device[image error]

Three of the most popular romance plot devices are:

Friends become lovers
Soulmates
Second Chance Love

While there are different devices you can use in your story, such as brooding vampire falls in love with virginal human that looks like his first love, you can’t go wrong with the above tropes. Readers want to see themselves in the heroine. They want to believe that this love interest exists out there somewhere, and this love story could possibly happen to them.

Focus on the emotional payoff of the story

Readers read romance because they want to feel something. Romance novels feed their heart and soul, sometimes providing them with something they long for in their own lives. Romance novels can have difficult subject matter and any number of dark moments, but the ending is always positive with their message of “True love conquers all.�� If you kill off your hero at the end, you may have a love story, but you don’t have a romance.

Because of this requirement for emotional payoff, my own paranormal romance series, The Kiss Series, isn’t strictly speaking “a romance novel.�� It would more accurately be labeled as a “romantic tragedy�� since I have a tendency to kill of characters. (Though, don’t fear readers, the series will , eventually, have a happy ending.)

[image error]

The love relationship must be front and center.

In many romance sub-genres, such a fantasy or paranormal, a lot of world-building has to take place for the reader to understand the rules of the universe they’ve just entered. But you have to keep the love relationship front and center from the start of your novel to the last page. No random action sequence tangents that don’t feature both your hero and heroine. Readers want to see your hero and heroine together, falling in love.

There’s a difference in romance and erotica.

Not every romance novel requires detailed sex scenes. A physical attraction is required between the hero and heroine, but sex isn’t the main focus of a romance novel, that is erotica. The love story is the main focus in a romance novel and sex is not required to be in the story-line at all.

1. Write about a Valentines Day surprise that went horribly wrong. (Genre of your choice)

2. Write about a character’s first Valentine’s Day Love. (Young Adult Romance Genre)
