Since March, 2010, I’ve hosted #BookMarket Twitter chat. #BookMarket is Twitter’s only chat about Book Marketing. It’s grown into one of the best conversations about publishing on the Internet. The chat is from 4-5 ET on Twitter.
We’re joined today by Janet Goldstein (@JanetGoldstein) Janet is a book professional who’s helped a number of bestselling authors develop their strategy.
My take on the interview:
Janet has some interesting things to say. I think the most stunning was how long it takes for an author to build a platform and get his or her ideas out there. Gone are the days of a ‘launch’. Book Marketing in 2012 is really marketing your book all the time. Be sure to read the publishers comments. It’s interesting to see how their experience matches Janet’s wisdom.
Janet is absolutely correct! Success as an author means to devote some time every day to promoting and marketing our books, as well as writing new work. It’s the most difficult job I’ve ever loved!
