Some articles and books are better than others in giving useful information about publishing your own book.  In a discussion group on my LinkedIn

Promoting and Marketing Your Book

account (join and connect with John Cooper), I met this author and book marketing pro, Florence Osmund.  She shared a link to a page with enough information to keep an aspiring writer and self publisher busy for days.  I know I will be.

She gives detailed information about promotion, marketing plans, using Amazon and Kindle to full advantage, social media tips, book review tips, and much more – along with a long list of websites to research in each of these categories.

I think any new author who is dipping their toes into the self promotion, self marketing

world can get a great education by spending a few hours going through the web links and doing some in depth research.

Thanks Florence!  I know this will help me, and I hope it helps others as well.
