Final sign off to the manuscript - and sent to Biddles for printing. Now begins the hard work (well - not quite yet). Work is snowballing so am due to get sidetracked - but the main drive for the next year or so will be a spot of marketing - both on and off line.
Am researching the latest tactics for an SEO (search engine optimisation) jaunt - and then will look into profile building for Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Other general profile building on readerly sites perhaps - and the inevitable local bookstores and rellies interest. Plus keeping an eye on other indy author sites and ways to get the book distributed for free (but to also get ‘about a quid’ back for the efforts).
Nice one, Ady. Finally out of your hands and into the big wide world…
Good luck with it. Keep us posted as to how you get on.
Cheers
