Once again, I personally value your blogs and information. Sage states it beautifully; and she is one who truly helps others with this "self promotion" that we writers/authors find ourselves in...The land of the lonely... Both the input and suggestions that you too share are invaluable. thank you, lindalaw

Hi Glenda,

You tell it how it is. Marketing is key to selling books and an author has to be visible in many online venues promoting their books. Early on, an author must connect with their audience and establish a fan base. Branding is a must. An author's name must instantly stand out from the competition. Choosing a nom de plume that has staying power and one which can draw in wide readership by just a moniker alone will get book buyers to read the blurb. Reviewers like yourself are much needed in this literary community, especially with self-published authors...it's a big world out there and there are many books to choose from. I thank you for dedicating your valuable time to read and review the authors who interest you and push along their careers...be well, Glenda.

Love,
Sage
