One of the hardest things to do as publisher or indie writer is find new fans. This a layer problem that most of us don’t want to talk about. Part of it is trying to find the reader as going door ot door isn’t realistic. So that means social media and adds. But one of the most profitable apps might be blocked, so that leaves us scrambling again to figure out how to find people. The other issue is story. One of the few advantages of traditional publishing is most of what they publish is going to be mainstream, meaning it has all the ‘expected’ story lines. Which is all good, but sometimes the stories we want to write don’t end on a happy note or the bad guy had his reasons or we just want to write about something that is different because the author is seeking that story. So again we have to find people that want to read something like this.
What am I trying to say? That there are so many options out there and so many stories. Support your authors and we can keep writing but come to our platforms like our newsletter so we can continue to stay in touch and tell you about the weird places our minds take us.
