Just A Quick Note To Let You Know I'll Be On Tv Tonight by Orikinla(m): 12:33am On May 27, 2007 |
Saturday, May 26, 2007: Flash Alert! For readers of my Advanced Fiction Writing E-zine: ______________________________________ Just a quick note to let you know I'll be on TV tonight Saturday, May 26, on the INSP channel at the following time: 8 PM EST/7 PM CST/6 PM MST/5 PM PST. Those of you who read the April issue of the Advanced Fiction Writing E-zine will recall that I spent the month of March doing some research on the alleged "family tomb of Jesus." In that month, I became one of the world's leading experts on the probability calculations of the tomb. I was able to show that the tomb that was featured in the Discovery Channel documentary is extremely unlikely to be the family tomb of Jesus of Nazareth. As a result of my calculations, my name came to the attention of a lot of folks in the world of New Testament Studies who had an interest in the tomb. So when the INSP channel decided to do a TV special on the tomb, I was the go-to guy for the math stuff. What does this have to do with writing fiction? Everything. As fiction writers, we have a responsibility to build name recognition to help promote our books. One way to do that is by creating and promoting articles on our web sites. A well-written and well-promoted article can do wonders for a writer. (My "Snowflake article" is averaging over 1000 page views PER DAY this month and has made me famous among fiction writers as "the Snowflake Guy." Lately, I've been teaching on the subject of why and how a writer should be creating super-performing online articles, which I call "SuperArticles." (For details, see this link http://www.AdvancedFictionWriting.com/info/super As the saying goes, "I eat my own dog food." I am actively writing and promoting online articles related to my fiction. I am currently working on a series of novels about Jesus of Nazareth. So it made perfect sense for me to spend all of March becoming an expert in this alleged "Jesus family tomb" thing. Some of you will be interested to watch tonight's special, and some of you won't care beans about it. But all of you should be interested in seeing what can be done to promote fiction--using SuperArticles. Because you can use the exact same techniques to promote your own work. Many of you read my blog every day, and so you know we are currently discussing SuperArticles. We're using a very hands-on approach--by taking examples from my blog readers. One of my blog participants is a forensic artist, who is writing a novel about . . . a forensic artist who stumbles onto the killing grounds of a serial killer. Sounds cool, eh? But how would you promote that? Tune in to my blog to watch us figure it out for her over the next few days: http://www.AdvancedFictionWriting.com/blog The next regularly scheduled issue of the Advanced Fiction Writing E-zine will be on June 5 (the first Tuesday in June).
