Sites like this open up a whole new world for the average reader. <BR/>Sometimes it's the cover that grabs me. Somtimes it is the blurb on the back. Or once in a while it just happens that the author is new and has somehow enticed me to try there work. Whatever it takes to get your work read all the better. ;)Paulahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12321917632996976783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-38364885505293570942008-06-27T06:39:00.000-04:002008-06-27T06:39:00.000-04:00I agree that promo is very important. As a reader, we had countless books (in print and ebook format) to choos from, and for a new author, it would be too easy to get lost in the massive selections we are offered. Putting yourself out there and talking about your books may not work as quickly as writers wish for, but doing nothing is almost a guarantee that readers won't find you. Just my thoughts...<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your book :)Stacy~http://www.blogger.com/profile/14919278697757441246noreply@blogger.com
