Enjoyed your post so much, Merrilyn (what a great name, it sounds so happy!), that I have ordered 'Time to Shine' from your website.

It's made easier if we have a pre-existing network in media-connected areas, already teach writing, are journalists, or have other notoriety. Then, as Fran says, the recommendation of others speaks to potential readers, and possibly to suppliers.Mari Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05606125048044373268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-41174457600898296842015-10-02T22:38:47.329+01:002015-10-02T22:38:47.329+01:00A community bookshop.

Promoting myself feels so awkward.

I don't want to be pushy but at the same time I am aware that I need to promote it for people to know about it. I am still learning about this.<br /><br />Thanks for giving me food for thought. <br /><br />TLynda Alsfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12260944221255162533noreply@blogger.com
