I’m glad it was helpful, David. Tip sheets might be a good publicity choice for your book.

Thank you so much, Bob, for both the kind words and the tip. I SO appreciate both!

I wrote about book clubs at this link: https://buildbookbuzz.com/authors-and-book-clubs/ because I’m with you — they present so many opportunities for connecting with readers. And you don’t have to do it in person — you can participate remotely with Skype, too. Thank you for that suggestion.

I’d also like to ramble on a bit about The Villages. Those social clubs include writer’s groups for just about every genre out there so anyone in that area should explore them, too. There was a good-sized contingent from The Villages at a Florida writer’s conference I spoke at a few years ago and they were the NICEST people I’ve ever met. I was able to sit with The Villages crew at every meal and enjoyed every second of my time with them.

Thanks again, Bob. You’re the best!

Sandra, this isn’t a media list tip, but it’s a marketing angle that maybe hasn’t been explored much. It involves that faithful old standby snail mail, but in this instance snail mail trumps email. There are, I’ve discovered, a goodly number of retirement communities around our country that have various types of social clubs. One of the biggest, if not THE biggest, is The Villages in Florida. They have a 2017 list of social clubs that runs into the HUNDREDS. Every kind of club you can think of: knitting, basketball, tennis, golfing, dancing, political, cooking – you name it. And among these are book clubs. And, for my particular niche, language study clubs. The lists provide not only the name of the club, but also the name and address of the organizer (and some other data). Sorry, no email addresses. Besides opportunities for promoting fiction to the book clubs, it seems to me there’s much fertile ground with they myriad other subjects for nonfiction writers. Anyway, just thought I might bring this to your attention in case it hasn’t already been brought.

Keep up the great work! Your services are hugely appreciated.

Glad it’s helpful, Larry!
