Promotion classes and consulting with Terry Kate

Learn How To Promote Your Book

Writing the book is half the battle.

Publishing is a changing world and with it the way you promote your books needs to meet the demands of the market. Online Promotion is not as scary as it looks and there are ways to get word out about your novel fast and effectively. Since starting Romance in the Backseat I have had a painful crash course in what works online and what is a waste of time, more importantly how to decide which is which. Learn from my pain and save yourself the time you could be using on your next book.

- For those who are not yet published there is more to being ready and selling yourself and your book to a publisher or agent then showing up with the manuscript. Make yourself a desibable commodity to publish and be ahead of the competition. Learn what you can be doing now.
