It's been over a year since Nancy Wood's novel, Due Date, was published. It's been quite a journey for this first-time author, trying to figure out book marketing.
If
someone had told Nancy that she'd be spending as much time on marketing
as she spent on writing, she says, "I wouldn't have believed them. But
it's true. And, if someone had told me that I would enjoy book
marketing, I would have looked at them as if they had a screw loose!"
But Nancy says that's true too, and an unexpected gift.
Book marketing has
been a lot of fun. She's met many, many authors, writing in a variety
of genres, and has read dozens of amazing books. She's had the
opportunity to cross-promote, helping other authors promote their books
and be promoted in return. And she's been able to connect with readers
as well.
