Websites - Book Promotion for Authors

Websites ~ For Authors

Are you a writer? Do you have a new book due for release? Are you concerned about publicity? In the age of the Internet and the WWW, here's the perfect way to promote your book! In today's publishing world, most authors can't necessarily count on their publishers to "spread the word" about their new book. Many authors are therefore taking matters into their own hands by developing their own marketing plans.

Among the most powerful tools is a web page or entire website devoted entirely to your book, which is designed to tantalize readers and send them "running" to their local bookstores or, even better, one of the many on-line book sellers from which they can order your book directly. Website features can include important information, such as: "Where to Buy the Book," "About the Author," "A Brief Look Inside," "Reviews," "Contact the Author," a full-color picture of the book cover, the list goes on. Once your website is established and on the WWW, you can "link" your pages to other sites and have them "link" back to you, for instance On-line Book Sellers, Book Reviews, Relevant Discussion Forums, etc. And you can get "in touch" with the vast markets that may be related to your book.
