Using Tricks of the Librarian Trade to Market my Book
Using Tricks of the Librarian Trade to Market my Book Using Tricks of the Librarian Trade to Market my Book Melodee Elliott may have been new to self-publishing when she released her debut novel, The Assumption Code, earlier this year. However, having a Master's Degree in Library Sciences, she's no stranger to looking for books. In this article, she talks about how she put the theories she learned in her degree to practical use when it came to marketing her novel andà thinking like a reader. The free promo was an interesting exercise. It taught me that marketing starts way before doing so-called marketing tasks. It starts with the skill and care taken to produce a book and harness the readerââ¬â¢s expectations.Books remain in the virtual bookstore for a very long time. Every reader on a search for the next great read will go through the actions of Find, Identify, Select, and Obtain, and itââ¬â¢s up to me to make sure those steps lead them to my book.The Assumption Code is available in paperback from Amazon and on Amazon Kindle!Head to Melodee's website to learn more.Lastly, leave any thoughts, experiences, or any questions for Melodeeà in the comments below.
