"Where Danger, Passion and Chance Collide ..."I received a copy of Nicola Morgan's Wasted today, which I won just recently in one of the competitions on her Talk About Wasted blog. I haven't delved into the book much yet, but a quick dip has me hooked already. Thanks Nicola! This more than makes up for the bitter disappointment of the Hallowe'en chocolates I won in one of her flash fiction competitions getting lost in the post ...
There's a good chance you're familiar with Nicola's legendary Help! I Need a Publisher blog already. If not, I can't recommend it highly enough. The Talk About Wasted blog is wonderful too, but in a different way : it's a bloody fantastic piece of marketing/platform building/reader involvement. An object-lesson in how to go about building up a buzz for a new book. The amount of work that has gone into it is just staggering.
One day I hope to be in the same position myself. When I am I'll be sure to refer to Nicola's blog as a shining example of how it should be done ...
You're so right about the marketing - it's been beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteI was sent a copy of Wasted but I got it out of the library first. It's a very nifty book!
