Helping Publishers Sell More Books in More Ways
Hello all. I am glad to have found you. I have published one novel through createspace.com
My experience, so far, has been a pretty good one. I've done a few book signings locally, have a website, and have a facebook fan page. I was looking for some words of advice as to how to get the word out without spending a fortune about my book?
