Getting the word out

I've decided that this book I love needs to be shared with the largest number of people. To get the word out, I'm trying a bunch of different things like this blog and a Facebook page for Going Home, Again. Next on my list is a press release. I have one rough-drafted, but this is a great big deal and I want to be sure it gets read and not just shift-deleted, so I'll definitely be sitting on it for a bit before I send it out.

I'm pushing the Delmarva aspect of the book and plan to send it to our local television stations and newspapers. I'm also considering sending it to local radio stations, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea in general and if it is, if I should focus on the talk stations over the music stations. I'm hoping Going Home, Again of Facebook gets enough likes that I can put up a poll and get some feedback.

I still can't believe how quickly doing a little writing for myself by challenging myself to write 50,000 words in 30 days has turned into this. Self-publishing is fun, but when you're new at something it's hard to know how to go about making things happen. I'm going to keep reading about it and writing about it to get the word out.

Of course I am open to suggestions. Send me an email, post a comment here, or post on the Facebook page if you have any ideas or suggestions on how to get my baby out there! Thank you!
