For the weeks I spend promo-ing my book all over the place, I see very little in return for all that time spent. <BR/><BR/>It definitely is having more books to sell that does it. If you have new release, after new release, your audience will find you. One great book? Not going to get you far...unless you're lucky enough to have written something like "To Kill a Mockingbird."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-80313427953930194422008-05-29T19:36:00.000-04:002008-05-29T19:36:00.000-04:00Yep, I have to agree.

Enjoyed all of the posts from this week.

Readers can't keep on going to book signings and reading press releases. New books are top priority.Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11476963043474402248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-15765966007405956802008-05-29T12:42:00.000-04:002008-05-29T12:42:00.000-04:00'what sells books best are more books, not press.'...'what sells books best are more books, not press.'<BR/><BR/>Ditto...jjdebenedictis.........we should all needlepoint this on a pillow. <BR/><BR/>Insightful post, Jessica.Sookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04309019627346019836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-36287142186802768442008-05-29T11:38:00.000-04:002008-05-29T11:38:00.000-04:00It's so easy to get caught up in the promotion whi...It's so easy to get caught up in the promotion whirlwind, but I have to agree with Jessica--nothing sells books more than having more books on the shelves.Kate Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05486916548114546095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-54410340267302984442008-05-29T10:43:00.000-04:002008-05-29T10:43:00.000-04:00[W]hat sells books best are more books, not press....<I>[W]hat sells books best are more books, not press.</I><BR/><BR/>Great advice for writers who are freaking out about all the extra stuff they're supposedly obligated to do.
