Loved this article. Two non-fiction nuggets in my novel are the 4 C’s of diamonds and the experience on Catalina Island. Thank you for sharing this marketing idea.

I’m thrilled these tips are helpful, Margaret, and I’m happy you’ve discovered them. So many novelists don’t know about the possibilities with topic-specific blogs, so those who do and take action can enjoy a competitive advantage.

the suggestion for non fiction nuggets is the best! I’m setting up an author page, very simple but… never thought i could use the guest blog idea. With your clues and thanks to your associate, I can list many from my novel Dear Kiss. I will make this an important feature of my very simple author page. Since i am hard at work on the sequel, even more important to “ get it right” . Many thanks, Sandy, I’ve come a long way since our phone call a few years ago!

This is certainly a more effective way to blog than to write a thinly disguised (or undisguised) “buy my book” post. Writing about those topics is interesting, informative, and targeted. And not annoying. Very much an example of the “people buy from people they know, like, and trust” mantra that non-novelists have been barking at us for years.

In reply to Cat Michaels.

Thanks, Cat! You know…you can also write these nonfiction nuggets into your manuscript intentionally so you’ve got something to work with in terms of guest blogging and publicity when the book comes out. Good luck!

In reply to Marianne Perry.

I’m glad you’re back to writing, Marianne. That’s great news. This post is for you and your fiction-writing colleagues so I’m glad you read it. I suspect you’ll enjoy pulling out those nonfiction nuggets and looking for opportunities to leverage them.
