Write
Your Next Book With The Media In Mind
Here
is what I know and think about making your book more promotable.
The
world of book publishing has changed immensely over the past decade --and
certainly over the past three years, thanks to Amazon, Apple, tablets, e-books,
Borders, and social media.
The
role of book publicity has not changed, though the methods have been altered.
PR
is needed to give a book a chance at succeeding in an overcrowded marketplace
and a noisy media landscape. With more books being published than ever before,
and more media outlets around than ever before, there is a lot of competition
to get a diluted piece of the pie.
Technology
has no doubt impacted many industries, including: publishing, retail, the news
media, and even the way books are written. As a result, readers and consumers
have been changed as well.
It
may seem like everyone:
· Has
plastic surgery
· Eats
organic food
· Watches
TV on a smartphone
· Spends
more time tweeting than talking to others
….
but such phenomena show we are a changing and diverse nation.
Not
everyone is doing these things I just mentioned but the world certainly is in
transition. Writers are changing, too. They are morphing into
hybrids - - they are writers and they are promoters.
