This is the first article I've read that makes it sound like publishers are finding ways to make e-books work for them rather than work against them. A Sneak Preview-For Books by Alexandra Alter (here) discusses some new concepts for marketing books through the use of prequels in the e-book arena. Books that are coming out will have teasers on e-books to help generate buzz. At 99 cents they thing readers will grab them up and then want to buy the hard back version (or full price e-book version) when that is released. Pretty smart if you ask me. Surprised it took them this long to think of it.
It's my intention, full time readers of this blog are well aware, to self- or e-publish my novel in the next few months. Guess who intends to use this space to provide needed excitement prior to the release. Can we call it excitement in the case of Toe the Line? Perhaps fervor or hullabaloo is more apropos. Nevertheless, expect some upcoming marketing for my novel!
