<\/a>I hope you’ll take time today to visit the two excellent author sites where I’m a guest blogger this week.<\/p>\n

Getting found<\/h3>\n

The first is the Be Your Own Book Doctor<\/strong><\/a> site run by my friend Jennifer Lawler, who wrote a fantastic three-part series<\/a>\u00a0on promoting romance novels for this blog. I returned the favor by writing a guest post for Jennifer on the “Top 3 reasons why nobody knows about your book<\/a>.” Maybe it will trigger a light bulb over your head!<\/p>\n

This isn’t my only collaboration with Jennifer. I’ll write more about what else we’re working on together<\/a> next week.<\/p>\n

Authors and e-mail lists<\/h3>\n

I also wrote about “The what, why, and how of e-mail lists for authors” on the Pubslush blog<\/a><\/strong>. This is a topic that all authors need to care about, but even if you don’t, check out that blog<\/a>. It is one of the coolest-looking sites I’ve ever seen. I just love that lined paper look. (But my life-sized mug shot kind of freaks me out . . . .)<\/p>\n

Justine Schofield of Pubslush also wrote an incredibly helpful post for us here, “7 ways to conduct a successful crowdfunding campaign<\/a>,” earlier this year. If crowdfunding is an option for you, you’ll definitely want to follow her advice.<\/p>\n

Guest blogging tips<\/h3>\n

If you’re thinking about offering to write guest blog posts for sites that serve your book’s target audience, consider reading my post here, “How to be a great guest blogger<\/a>.” Be sure to read the comments for additional tips, too.<\/p>\n

If you write a blog for authors, I’d love to contribute a guest post. Do you have an author marketing success story to share here? I’d love to hear from you. Just send me a note!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
