As an independent author, you have to come up with creative ways to market a self-published book. Book tours are a great way to connect with readers, but there are other affordable methods of promotion. Thankfully, technology has made it possible for an alternative.
Take note from self-publishing Outskirts Press author, Annie Brown, who discusses her first book, Christians with Pervasive Issues, on tour – a virtual book tour, that is. She will be featured on several blogs over the weeks and months ahead so keep your eyes peeled to learn more about her and her book.
Luckily for us, Annie was kind enough to answer a few questions as the tour was getting started so that we can give you a sneak peek into the mind of the creator of Christians with Pervasive Issues.
OP: Tell us a little bit about Christians with Pervasive Issues. What is it about?
AB: The need to get unresolved issues taken care of before the end of life. Since none of us know when that is it, is best to take care of the issues now.
OP: Why did you decide to write this story?
AB: I was inspired by the Holy Spirit to encourage people to find resolutions to their issues while they have the abilities to do so.
OP: Why did you decide to write this story?
AB: I sent in the manuscript to Outskirtspress.com and it was accepted. The employees from Outskirts Press were there to assist me from the time the manuscript was accepted through publication.
OP: What types of readers would be interested in this story?
AB: Readers who would be interested in this book would be people who know they have unresolved issues, it is causing negative influences in their lives, and they want to change.
OP: What is special about your book? What differentiates it from other books in the same category?
AB: This book can produce a life changing experience for those who are serious about making things right. This book can be a valuable tool for those who have been victims and perpetrators.
OP: Have you published any other books? Do you plan to publish more?
AB: This is my first book, but I’m almost finished with another one!
OP: Thanks for your time, Annie! We look forward to learning more about you as you visit other bloggers!
