The joys of marketing for the self=publisher

Most writers live in their heads and depend on magical thinking to move their lives along. That's pleasant but it doesn't move books. One of the challenges of becoming an independent publisher and actually getting sales for your good books is learning to market. Because I am challenged in the area of "linking" and doing some computer tricks, my methods are not consistent. Still, I keep plugging.Some of the things I do: guest blog wherever I can, take out small inexpensive ads on the…See More

Can a previously successful print writer re-ignite a career as an Indie

My writing career was ignited by an Op-Ed piece in the New York Times. Overnight (yes, overnight) I was offered several book contracts on unfinished work. I published four good books with top notch publishers. The books lived, as most print books, a relatively short life. They went out of print. Two years ago, I tried to get one of my out of print books "Daughters" reissued. The subject matter - a family saga set in Jerusalem at the turn of the century - seemed to fit the news.

About Me:
Consuelo Saah Baehr was born in El Salvador to French/Palestinian parents. At age five she joined her father and five uncles in Washington, D.C. where they ran the prestigious boutique department store, Jean Matou, a favorite of Bess Truman and Jackie Kennedy. Convent boarding schools came next and George Washington University. After college she began writing advertising copy for the Macy Corp. Marriage and three children followed and the writing was silent until a stunning Op-Ed piece in The New York Times brought a flurry of offers from book publishers. The result was the personal memoir, Report From The Heart (Simon & Schuster). Four novels followed: Best Friends (Delacorte/Dell); Nothing To Lose (Putnam's); Daughters (Delacorte/Dell) and 100 Open Houses soon to be a Kindle original.
Daughters, a historical family saga set in pre-war Jerusalem, has been translated into 15 languages. It was published as a Kindle book in late August.
