  Building Your Mailing List

  Building Your Mailing List

    Mandi Konesni I used an author newsletter swap put on by a popular company. https://www.authorsxp.com
    
    It was $45, and had separate genres so you could target your reach to people that actually READ what you tend to write.

    It was $45, and had separate genres so you could target your reach to people that actually READ what you tend to write.
    
    Once the event was over, I received an email with a .csv file with all the newsletter subscribers and the names of the winners that I had to send books to. (Three winners, total)
    
    I sent the books, imported the .csv file into SendInBlue. I started with 30 subscribers. After the event? 1,777 paranormal romance fans.
    
    WELL worth the cost!  less

  Much Ado About Editing

  No one is perfect. That's as true today as it has always been, and will always be. We all make mistakes, sometimes ones we look back on and think "What in the world happened there?" This is why editing is a necessary part of the writing process. Your voic...

  To Brag, or Not To Brag... That is the question.

  Shadows of a thousand years
