I’ve met quite a few PR folks over the years online, but this young lady is the one who introduced a skeptical me to Twitter and Facebook. I consider her the premier expert on social media and I’m still trying to catch up with her. I so admire her and I believe after you read this interview, you will too! — Ty

Book Buzz 2.0 | Thou Shall Not Market Alone
Thou Shall Not Market Alone
by Tyora Moody
Writing can be a lonely activity. The loneliness may not necessary end after the book is published. Hours of travel, sitting at book signing tables, setting up booths, and hotel rooms may take a toil on a writer, may even steal some of the joy from the publishing process. With the current economy, authors have to be careful with funds. It’s imperative to include a combination of traditional and online ideas in book marketing plans.
With the Book Buzz 2.0 column, I try to share with you online marketing ideas to help you get your book out there to your readers. I also run a marketing blog, but there is no way I could share with you all the options that are available to you. What makes the Internet such an awesome place is the willingness of so many who don’t mind sharing tips. I’ve found the best teachers when it comes to marketing are those who are veterans or who have a creative spirit when it comes to book promotion.

Let the Buzz Begin

Some days you wrote feverishly, other days you stared at a blank page. After much procrastination and then finally a stroke of genius, you finished the story that’s haunted you months, maybe even years. You probably didn’t know at the time completing the manuscript was only the beginning. The journey to “getting the call” can be heart wrenching.
You may be one of the writers who receives the call not long after the submission process. Or you can be the one of thousands of writers (including some very famous published authors) who received one rejection letter after another. Either way, when you get the call, it will be joyous time. As you begin to settle back down to earth, don’t get caught up in the myth.
