That’s a smart goal, Ranjini! Get as many fans as you can so that they will be anxious for your next cookbook. I know you’ll do a great job!

My single most important book marketing goal is to get our book in the hands of as many culinary enthusiasts as possible, to set the stage for the next one that will come out this summer! These are excellent points, and especially liked – make adjustments as you go along – because, like in writing, refining and retuning is most critical even for book marketing. Thank you for this great post!

These are great ideas, Sandra, but I guess I’m looking for more specifics. My book has been published since December, 2010 and I am not selling many right now. I need more ideas of how to get it out there. I’ve done B&N, I blog, I’m in several social networks, my website is nice, I was in schools, but now schools do not have money to support author visits, so I’m growing stale on ideas. Can you give more specific ideas of where and how to get more attention to my children’s chapter book, No Tildes on Tuesday? It is about a 13 year old biracial girl who doesn’t think that she’ll fit into her new neighborhood. She fears that the children there will not understand her because she doesn’t speak Spanish. She’ll biracial, but not bilingual.

That’s exciting, Ronnie! Start learning how to promote it while you’re writing it, too, because you’ll want to address that in your book proposal. Good luck!

My goal is to complete my edits and revisions within six months. Then query agents and publishers. I plan to have my novel, a psychological thriller, in the hands of a traditional publisher who will offer an acceptible contract.
