In reply to Mary Sayler. Thanks Mary for these wonderful posts and useful advice for writers. Lots to think about. Where you mention that members can announce a new book, would this include self - published ones?

In reply to Carol Peterson. Thanks Carol, you always seem to be soo busy! I think marketing the 3 of those in the series would be a good idea. Would love to read them too (If I'm not too manly for that series!) hee...

Congratulations again, Chris. My best marketing advice is: do it. (sigh)

I’m looking forward to reading Wellspring. I’ve been forced to create an orderly pile to my books to read. Yours is near the top though…

I’m just finalizing “I am Eve,” the second book in my “With Faith Like Hers” series. Also starting to dig into “I am Ruth.” Have been holding off on serious marketing of “Esther” until I get three in the series out into the world. Dunno if that’s wise, but there it is.

Best wishes. Looking forward to hearing about your next book.

One way I’ve marketed my own books is by posting portions on relevant blogs I maintain then including a link at the end of each post. I have the books on the front page of my website too, and I set up an Author’s page on Amazon, which also includes links.

Some Christian groups on Facebook exist to market books, but our Christian Poets & Writers group isn’t one of them. Members can announce a new book, but after that, it’s considered an ad, which will be deleted.

Our group exists to help up-build the church Body of Christ through our writings in all genres, so we also want to help each other learn more about writing well. Since other members of our group will be glad to see the info you’ve posted here, Chris, I’ll highlight this on the Christian Poets & Writers blog http://christianpoetsandwriters.blogspot.com . Thanks and blessings.
