I’ve been in a couple of Facebook groups rallying rockstar romance authors together, and I’ve been part of some great group promotions. But, I’ll admit, I wanted more.
Earlier this year, I decided to see what I could do. Inspired by an event conducted by Zoe York, I reached out to hundreds of rockstar romance authors (even if they, like I, write in other subgenres as well), starting with the simple goal of having a “free book blitz” four times a year. Many of the authors who came on board participated and we had a successful first event.
But while I continued recruiting other authors and realizing the power of a group, I came up with so many more ideas, all with the intent of making some marketing tasks easier and more effective for the group. Here are some of the things we do:
- Free book blitz once a quarter
- 99 cent book blitz once a quarter
- “Low-key” new release swaps
- Round robin newsletter builders
- And more!!!
What I like best is that nothing we do in the group is mandatory. Events are there when authors want to participate but they never have to join in.
Down the road, I’m planning to add other promotional events and a few of us are wanting to really brainstorm other things we can do to get our books into the hands of eager readers…but, in the meantime, are you a rockstar romance author? Would you like to be part of this group? If so, I’d love to invite you onboard–and joining is EASY! All you have to do is sign up here for my ROCKSTAR ROMANCE AUTHOR MARKETING NEWSLETTER!
