Dear Reading Friend,
Thank you for your interest in and support of my writing journey. Thank you for your encouragement, questions, prayers, and excitement also.
I’d like for you to use that excitement and encouragement in a new way to help me in my journey—the PR or marketing part of the path.
I’ve created a Street Team to help get the word out about my fourth novel, Forever Music, which is set to be released on Tuesday, May 19th. It should be up for pre-order on April 7th.
A Street Team is just a group of people who commits to speaking to friends, emailing, tweeting, posting on Facebook or Instagram or other social media outlets about the book. Some tasks include posting pictures of the book or of you reading the book in your house or on vacation. You can share my posts from my readers’ page or share the book trailer on your page.
Not social media savvy? You can hand out post cards or book marks that I send to you. You can invite me to your book club or church or women’s group to speak. You could ask a local gift shop or library to carry the book. Don’t discount the powerful influence of word-of-mouth endorsements. A spoken “Read this book!” is a treasure, too!
This group will be fun with cool gifts to go along with the tasks. I’m working on them now with creative friends. These gifts will be exclusively for the Street Team and won’t be available at my book signings.
Publishers like a book to garner 25 reviews on Amazon during the pre-sale period. To get those reviews, I can send you a PDF file of the manuscript that you can read before anyone else in the universe gets the story! Then you write your honest review on Amazon!
Publishers also like authors to sell 150 books on the release day. (If I used emojis, I’d use the one with bulging eyes right here!) So the team could help drive those numbers, too.
If being a part of this group is something you’d love to do, please go here to sign up! Thank you!
Hope to hear from you soon!
Peace,
Hope
