E-Books

[Meredith Cagen]

"Size Eight in a Size Zero World" is available as an Ebook on Smashwords!

The book is modern NYC-Lit, a Sex and The City type story for real women. Women who would struggle wearing Jimmy Choos and Manolos. Lindsay is a typical working wife and mother who creates a plan to re-invent herself and to regain her spark after friending her sexy upstairs neighbor. This is what happens when happily ever after takes a surprising detour.

Post what you think about Ebooks. Any suggestions on how to promote my Ebook and Paperback???

I'm trying to promote my eBook (no paperback), so I'd be interested in reading any answers you get. I'm not sure I can offer much in the way of suggestions though. Blog... Website... mention the book on ning and spruz and facebook, twitter etc. are good, but they really only reach the people you're already reaching. Mass emails to friends and family? There's a site that turns your cover into a jigsaw puzzle, which gives you a good excuse to send out another mass email and write more blog posts. I'm making a new blog just for my book (just started, so there's really nothing there); I put the jigsaw on the front page, http://refracted-muse.blogspot.com if you want to see how it works.

Meredith, I think doing your book tour will help. Get on all the social networks, blog, and do it all daily if that's possible for you. Make yourself be seen. Never give up, see you book and your name out there. It will happen. See you on my blog on Sept 21st!! Best of luck!

I have decided to publish my new book, Mr Christopher ( also no paperback), as an ebook on Kindle. Mainly because I see a great future in electronic books. Kindle readers have already sold out in both The US and UK with prospective buyers having to accept a first come first served situation, and with Amazon behind it at least the author will have a guaranteed market. Of course, once there like any other market the book will have to sell on its merits but at least it will have a top class starting point.

If you have your book available on Kindle, and you're looking for ways to get it noticed, you should not overlook the Kindle Boards site. There is a forum on that site called "Book Bazaar". Here's the link:

http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/board,42.0.html

It's an extremely active forum with a lot of friendly folks talking about their books. Join the forum and plug your book. Give your initial post a catchy subject title so it will be noticed. If you're lucky, your book might catch the attention of a kindle book reviewer who goes by the screen name of Red Adept. Her reviews are very thorough and highly respected.

Then jump over to the "Shameless Self-Promotion By Author" forum on amazon. This is also an extremely active forum and to get the most out of it you really have to keep a presence there because it is so active. A 1-time visit with a plug for you book will likely just get lost in the ongoing stream of comments. I've been on that forum for 3 years and have learned so much from all the friendly people willing to share tips and their experiences along the way. Here's the link:

Good luck!
