Explore opportunities to speak about topics relating to your book while you also offer copies for sale. For example, you could contact local church groups, libraries, and museums about this.
Encourage
your publisher to list your books in their online catalog if they’re not
already listed there.
Many
authors have blogs or websites on which they sometimes promote other authors’
books. You might ask some authors of your acquaintance about this.
A good way
to widen one’s connections with other helpful authors is to join an authors
group—one that meets in person and/or an online group. For example, Inscribe is
a Canadian Christian online group that’s been around for years. If you happen
to be over 75, it’s free to join. Over-75s qualify for their diamond category. Another
Canadian Christian authors group is The Word Guild.
Facebook is
one example of an online place to promote your books and connect with other helpful
authors. You can do this through your personal Facebook profile and/or by
setting up a special profile for yourself as an author.
On
Facebook, you can also find a number of book-related groups where you can
promote your book and connect with other authors. Such groups are free to join.
They include:
Christian
writers
Canadian
books
Canadian
books with a Christian worldview
Look for Facebook groups specifically for authors in your part of the country. For
example,
Atlantic
Canadian author events
Writers west
Other
online places where you can promote your books include Instagram and LinkedIn.
