ARC's
The challenge of being indie pubbed is to figure out ways to get out there. I belong to YALSA ( Young Adult Library SA ), the most worthwhile loop I'm on, and am giving out ARC's to any library interested. I was thrilled at the response! Hundreds of librarians read my email:
I am pleased to offer ARC's of HEAVENLY, my upcoming YA novel to interested libraries. HEAVENLY is about a teenage girl who falls in love with her autistic sister's guardian angel.
When you pub independently, it's not about speed. It's about exposure, which can often be slow. I make enough off of my other titles Falling for Romeo, Magic Hands, Nailed and A Season of Eden ( under JM Warwick ) to fund whatever I need to do in the name of Grove Creek Publishing.
Each book I send out to librarians, I've offered as a donation to their YA shelf. I figure if 5, 10, 30 readers or more pick the book up, read it and enjoy it enough to buy their own copy, that multiplies into sales somewhere down the line.
I'm so excited about HEAVENLY. The story is a part of me in ways that none of my other stories have been so far, so I'm anxious to share it.
If you want to see HEAVENLY on your library shelf, msg me the name of your local library and I'll ship them a donated copy!
Then get back to me after you've read it.
