Author, Author (Platform)

Thank you to readers who have agreed to be my guinea pigs for my first trial e-mail blast. An e-mail blast is part of one’s “author platform” (read: self-marketing). I’m writing this blog now so that I can share it with you all. Then, when that works out, I’ll announce signup subscriptions to the blog. (You guys are already signed up voluntarily—or through blood relations.) Because June 24 starts a five-day promotion offering free Kindle versions of Wonderfully Made, I figured this is as good a time as any to start working on my author platform. I’ll send an official blast next week to announce the free promotion. After that, I think I’ll do quarterly e-mails until I know what I’m doing!

You guys are the best! Feel free to comment below, too. I’d love to see how that works.
