Hi there,

I'm a writer and greatly respect published authors when I see them. I work with a PR platform in the literary industry that's bringing to the market a bunch of publicity tools for authors, regardless of how new you may be.

Presently, they're still compiling a list before launching fully and I thought it'd make sense to make this available here.

If you're an author with an actual book that you've written (can be digital e-book or physical) in any genre and you don't mind some extra free promotion, you could leverage this.

Simply send me an email here: me@lanresolarin.com

Kindly include in the email your name, phone number and your blog or website (if you have one). You can also share your bio and mention where your books can be purchased online (or offline).

Asides sending me an email, feel free to write about yourself in the comments section of this post and include your link too. This isn't for me. It's just for extra buzz here on Nairaland so that people looking to connect authors can also find you here.

I'd have started with my own details, but as I said, I'm not yet a published author. So you start .

Hi there,

I work with a youth empowerment platform where we try our best to celebrate creativity. I'm literally looking for creative people who may want to showcase their work on our platform. You can see it as free publicity because I know how hard it is to get your work out there. I'm also a writer too and I feel this would make sense for some people.

So if you write short stories, poems or any other related work and you're looking for an extra website with good enough readership to publish your work, please let me know. You can send an email to richewriter@gmail.com with your name and phone number so I contact you back.

Thanks so much!

Wow! Nice... Cc: ishilove obinoscopy mynd

Thanks Rounakid .

Every so often, you admire your own work – your writings, and probably your printed books. “Damn! I’m good” is what you say. You know your book is a must read for all.

You want to get your work into the hands of thousands of people so they can also get a chance to join you in that world you’ve created with your words.

But getting noticed is just not happening. And you’re probably wondering why!

The thing is, writing a damn good piece is not enough to get everyone reading that book. I know, your friends who read part of the book when it was still in the making encouraged you to complete it saying it would sell like wildfire.

But again, that didn’t happen.

Despite the word of mouth marketing that you may have done, people aren’t still responding positively.

Well…

Guess what?

Not everyone wants your book.

I know, that’s a hard pill to swallow, but it’s simply the truth. And what you’re probably doing is trying to get everyone to buy your book.

Well, that is what you should not be doing. Why?

Because it will never happen.

You see, the people who don’t want your book most likely don’t want to listen to whatever you have to say either. In other words, they are just not interested in you.

Are these the kinds of people you should persuade to buy your book?

Not quite!

But there are some people who are interested in what you have to say and who would become evangelists telling everyone about you.

The only thing is that they either do not know you or you haven’t found them yet.

So, here’s what you should do instead…

“Build an audience of people who will know, like and trust you and then sell all your books to them.”

And you should do this for two reasons;

1. They are your IDEAL readers.
2. They will spread the message of your book at any given chance.

You see, building an audience of readers for your books doesn’t have to be that hard.

As an author, you can get people so interested in your present book, that they’ll practically be begging you to know when your next book is coming out so they can buy it.

You can create a business relationship with these people even outside the usual “buy my book” relationship.

You can become a voice that people will always want to hear and listen to because of the new knowledge and insight you always bring to the table. That’s influence at its best.


You can build a lifestyle by doing what you love, which is writing.

So are you ready to device a way of getting your book in the hands of ready readers?

It’s really simple. All you need is a new direction, a simple strategy and a few tools to get started.

We believe authors are one of the most creative people on earth, and so we want to help you build influence. Click to continue.

I completely love your hubpage and you've just inspired me to get mine back on its feet. That was a nice hub topic by the way and I gained a lot. Thanks for the comment on my blog.
You're one of the few people that follow the rules of this thread which is- comment and be commented on. Thanks once again.

Since when did the liver become a souvenir for love? It's a real fresher angle to the normal Romeo and Juliet story, just don't let Shakespear read this. Chei, I'm sorry for the guy.

Skulboy:

Thanks, Lanre. You're a good writer too. Thanks much for the comment, follow and like. I'll follow you too (you got a Twitter ID, right?) I'd be pleased to host you on my blog.
