This week’s forays to overcome my adversity of obscurity:Ġ1/09 - Author interview/giveaway conducted by Kester Nucum for LILbooKlovers: Ġ1/12 - I submitted my novel for consideration of meriting an IPPY Award for the category of “Regional Fiction: North East.” One of the oldest, most established independent book awards in operation, the Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPYs) are well known and respected in the book industry. Yet, I seek to promote my recent launch, Contemporary Women’s Fiction novel, An Enlightening Quiche, every single day on social media by sharing author interviews, posting recent reviews or awards, conducting giveaways, and procuring/publicizing book signing events (7 library signings and 1 at Barnes & Noble – January and February). (My detour around “"Personality," a 1959 R&B/pop hit with music and lyrics by Harold Logan and Lloyd Price)Īpart from getting no major publishing deal with a cash advance, yet having to absorb the costs associated with self-publishing: professional editing services, formatting, and designing-an Indie author’s lack of direction for marketing one’s books is my greatest ADVERSITY.
