Three exciting things happened to day regarding my books.
1. Dan Sinclair came over again. He’s the 17 year old (almost 18 now!) who last time arrived on a skateboard and today arrived on a scooter. He’s a whizz with social media and has helped me redesign my website. I completely redesigned it after he left last time (LOL) but he showed me how to use wix.com as a tool and now I can do anything I want to tweak the site. Today he tweaked it further and even added a live chat option! We think it’s now ready to promote, and that we will do next time he comes round, next Tuesday. In the meantime try it out for yourselves: http://www.ruthiepearlman.com
2. I met Danielle Benson from dbPR, a PR company. She introduced me to Dan Sinclair. I decided to “speculate to accumulate” by employing her to use various PR methods to promote my eBook site. I know it will leave me even further in the red than I already am (£700 from paying to have my earliest books scanned in and edited using OCR software) but I’m hoping that my sales will take off like a rocket and I’ll break even and even go into profit! That would be great!
3. My publishers, Menucha, have accepted my latest AMI serial, Disappeared to be published as a book. The editor wants some changes. At first I was a bit puzzled why AMI would pass things that the publishers didn’t, but they explained that books are different and have different criteria. So I’m going to knuckle down like a lamb and do the changes.
Three nice things all book related, in one day 🙂 Let’s hope they all bear fruit and increase the reach of my eBooks!
