Free Ways to Blog Your Book Promotion

I've been at it again and I added some new promotional blogs. I keep saying "no more", but then some new idea hits me and I have to start a new blog. So, I figured it was time to update people about the blogs that I have available.

ANY published author is welcome to submit these questions and answers to promote their books. The cover blog always has a long waiting list, but most of the others will allow you to be posted within a few weeks. If you have an upcoming release, feel free to send the submission and list your release date in the subject line along with the blog title.

To use any of these blogs - click on the link, click on "how to submit" in the top corner of the blog and following the instructions. I ask that you send the questions and answers in an RTF file. It is also good to send a jpg file of your book cover. When you have completed the interview, send to nikki_leigh22939@yahoo.com and I will add your name to the list for that blog.

I have divided the lists up for fiction and non fiction books to make it easier to find the ones that will work for you and your blog. Many people tell me how much fun they had with these blogs, I hope you have fun too.

Two other quick updates -

We are putting the final polish on the print edition of Book Promo 101 and its looking great. The book will be an oversize 8" x 10" and the layout is gorgeous. Most of the pages which contain review questions also have room to make notes. The print book should be available the beginning of March- but it will be announced on my blogs and to my mailing list.

Also, I have recently added a wide array of promotional services to authors. Feel free to take a look at the possibilities and contact me to discuss some possibilities. If you are interested in something that you don't see listed, feel free to let me know and we can talk. There are many ways to promote and I enjoy working with other authors on their book promotion.
