BTS032, Publishing a Second Edition of a Mystery Novel and Using Book Blogging Tours as a New Author

The Authorpreneur Podcast - Writing & Self Publishing Tips

Send us a text

Now that the rewrites of the second edition Missing are finished, during May, I prepared the new edition for publication. And in this episode, I’m going to share the exact steps I took to go from a revised draft to pressing the publish button.
While I’m on the topic of Missing, I’m going to discuss the results of my book blogging tour; that’s everything: the good, the bad, and the ugly. I know that sounds over dramatic, but there were some hairy moments in that book blogging tour. Naturally, none of this is a reflection upon the organiser of the tour. But I don’t believe in just sharing the shiny PR version of things; I think it's important to be honest.
As always, I will also share a writing update, book promotional efforts, and self-publishing tasks. So, stay tuned for all of this and much more.
