Getting the message out…

I have been trying to publicise my new novel ‘Radwinter’ – as a self-publishing author it is all down to me and as I don’t have a physical product to promote because my book is an e-reader, I have tried to get its name known in other ways. I have had postcards printed which I give toe everyone I meet… quite often met with polite but blank looks as many people don’t have a Kindle or compatible device, and many don’t really grasp what a Kindle is!

I have also written to my local newspaper and they may publish a review… I’ll post a link to that if it happens! I have also been in touch with a newspaper near to the village of Radwinter after which my book is named, and which gave me the original inspiration. They phoned me up and I was very excited, and I sent them a photo… and I’ve heard nothing and no report has appeared in their editions of the past few weeks. I have also written to a local news magazine, and our village magazine… but no response so far! I have also written to our local BBC radio editor… and again, no response…

I have to say i am getting a little disheartened, but I shall press on. I am going to write to genealogical magazines next as my book is about the search and research for family history… but it is very hard when you are a writer not a publicist, agent, publisher or promoter… I can write, not sure how good i am at selling!
