Not sure whether this ought to be in self-promotion, but I wanted to share this info with those of you who are thinking about it.
Ankari recommended I make an author page on Facebook even though I haven't been published. He mentioned how important it is for an agent to find you have a presence, when they google your name. So... I made a page. https://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Howitt/552886471474317
It's still brand new, so not much is there, but got eighty-something likes in a day and it inspires me to keep adding content. I'd like to attach more blogs, so if you have one, please post your link in this thread. (Or you can just go like my page and leave me a comment that you also have a blog). I appreciate all the support I can get for the page.
If you would like a review, Im happy to read your book and give you a review for your website (so I can link it in my page). Or if there's anything else I can do to help promote either MS or the writers in this community, please let me know. This is a small world and I have over 650 friends who see my personal posts. It's only a matter of time before I've converted them all to my followers... I mean asked them kindly to like my page... and I'd love to share that with all of you. I'm also doing a new website soon (separating my costume business and research site from my writing musings and stuff), so I'll be doing blogs and it would be awesome to get some guest bloggers or some links to other people's published works (like the MS ezine). So, let me know if we can mutually help each other. I'm really getting into this thing and I'm kinda liking it. I was way too intimidated over the last few months to give it a try, but now that I've got a friend emotionally supporting me, I'm cruising along.
If you haven't made an author page on facebook, I encourage you to do so because there's loads of material and links out there, you don't even have to write lengthy posts, just put up a link and a short blurb about why it's interesting. If we all link to each other, we all win... So please come like my page and leave me a message so I can like yours. I'd love to get even more involved with other people's blogs, so they can take advantage of all my other real-life writer friends. I know a lot of artists, people. Send me your blogs!
