No matter what type of publisher you have...
Publishing my first book with Inkshares was the best thing I could have done for my career as an author! Today, I have my second book out, and it’s on a traditional contract with a NY publisher. But no matter what type of publisher you have, you have to share your work yourself. I don’t think mass emails work.
Below is the email I developed and sent individually to my close friends and colleagues to celebrate my new book birthday today. (Feel free to use as template/cut and paste if helpful.)
Wherever you are on your writing journey, hang in there and best of luck! If you’re a reader only, thank you for the support you give us!
Best,
Kris
I have a book birthday today!
ALL THAT FALL, my debut thriller launches to wonderful early reviews! (Yay!)
If a fast-paced, 48-hour, set-in-Sacramento, young-woman-protagonist, first-in-a-series, thriller without graphic violence or harm to children is a fit for you or for someone you know as a gift, please consider giving it a try!
Easy Purchase links:
* Amazon
*Indie Bookstores
Note: If you buy the book today, it will help support my fledgling career as an author since rankings of sales at launch signal to independent booksellers & Amazon that this is a book worth promoting and featuring! If you buy the book in the next 3 days—
ebook, hardback, or audiobook—100% of the royalties will go to NoKidHungry.com, a nationwide effort to help end childhood hunger in the US. If you buy the book anytime, it helps.
(And if you’ve already bought the book, thank you!)
ps Completely understand if this is not a fit for you. And if you prefer to get books from your local public library but they don’t have it yet , please request they order "All That Fall" by Kris Calvin. I’d love to see the book available to anyone who wants it.
Thank you!
Kris
