You don’t need to be everyone’s favorite writer You just need 1,000 readers. But to get to 1,000, you have to get to 100. And before you can get to 100, you have to get to 1. So who's your ideal reader? Subscribe to the newsletter now to find out!
"Anytime we experience confusion, we don’t take the time to try to figure out what’s going on. We just move on to the next thing because...time is the commodity that we don’t have." - @SandyLuBookWyrm Make sure you're writing clear and concise query letters! #WritingCommunity
🚨New Episode🚨 How @lisaunger writes her novels: "There’s usually a germ or something that leads me to a swath of research...And then usually there’s a voice or voices that might come in, and those are the voices that I follow through the manuscript." 📘THE NEW COUPLE IN 5B!
To successfully market your book...you need to know 2 things: 1. Your Ideal Reader Avatar 2. Your Unique Story Arc (Subscribe to the Story Arc newsletter for more on this!) You want to market your book as PERFECT for ONE person.
🙅♂️Don't pretend like your book is for everyone! 😘 Your book has a love interest? Maybe romance readers will like it ❌ 👻 A hint of a ghostly presence? Ooohhh maybe you should reach out to horror readers. ❌ ⛹️♀️ One guy is tall…market to basketball players. ❌ Nope! ❌
Not a good take... ❌ An example of what not to do: Romance novels are a waste of everyone's time. If you read romance, you need to get a life. Why does this not work? It alienates readers and offends book buyers.
Struggling to stand out in the crowded literary marketplace? 📚✨ Craft a compelling author bio that highlights YOUR UNIQUE STORY and resonates with your Ideal Reader. Your unique story will help to attract your fans! Want help? More info in bio! #BookMarketing #2024debut
✅ An example of what to do: Thriller novels are all tropes and the only thing that makes them unique are characters. Why does this work? It's spicy enough, debatable, but ultimately harmless. What not-to do coming next...
3. Have a hot take Decide to have a semi-controversial take. Nothing so spicy that it turns people away It can even be humorous (People who like mayo shouldn't be allowed to vote) You want something that will help them remember you. Examples and Non-Examples coming soon...
2. Name drop for book sales Your characters are the lifeblood of the world you create. It's the same in the story of your life. Anytime you can say "I talked to..." or "I heard _ speak..." If Ideal Reader respects that person, you'll gain readers' respect by association.
1. Personal experiences to sell books Imagine your life as a hero's journey. Reflect on the important moments. Write them down and consider how these experiences shaped you. Then, match them up with the audience you're reaching out to. Ask yourself...Who are my readers?
If you want readers to remember you (and your book), you need to tell them a story about you or the creation of your book. What story should you tell? There's a few options. I'll be posting 3 over the course of the day. Click "Follow" to follow along!
What comes to mind when you think about Vincent Van Gogh? How many of his sunflowers or self portraits scroll through your head before you think... Hey, didn't he cut off his own ear? As human beings, we're drawn to story and we remember story. #Bookmarketing #author

"Study other authors work...One thing you can do is look at each chapter and write a one sentence summary of that chapter. And then you see the outline and see how the book comes together." @SandyLuBookWyrm shares so much actionable advice for #amquerying and #WritingCommunity
Great book!! Def check this one out!
I adored THE GIRL IN THE WINDOW by @LindseyBHobson!
I’m compiling a list for @StoryArcBooks of FREE ways for friends and family to help an author promote their book So tell me…how can people promote the authors they ❤️ for free? Let’s be creative #writingcommunity I’ll start…
@DnDingbats @StoryArcBooks I heard somewhere that 90% of books are sold by word of mouth! Can someone fact check me? 😂 So just talking about a book can make a HUGE difference in sales
@DavidRGwyn @DnDingbats @StoryArcBooks I made business cards that have the cover image and a teaser on one side and a qr code with my linktree and some basic contact info on the back. I carry a copy everywhere so I can talk about it because “what do you do” is always a question.
@TCWestminster @DnDingbats @StoryArcBooks Amazing idea!!
We have a cover! 🥰 THIS CURSED HOUSE is available for pre-order now. Release date is October 8 of this year, just in time for Halloween reading 👻 shorturl.at/kxzHX
Top 5 elements for every #cozymystery #cozy #mystery thriller101.com/how-to-start-a…
Just got to talk to @lisaunger for the Thriller 101 podcast. And I’m here to report…She’s as nice as she is talented. Don’t miss her new novel! I couldn’t put it down.
