Find Some ReadersI've gone into a bookshop more than once to buy something based on a review. There are print reviews and there are electronic reviews. You want to be reviewed as much as possible. Your publisher will market your book, but you have to help. A lot. What you want is for a potential reader to walk into that shop or log onto that site with your name and title already in his or her head. How do you choose what to read? I go by what my friends recommend, book reviews, and author loyalty. This isn't the end all and be all of marketing efforts, but it's a good starting place. (Word of mouth is the end all and be all.) Here are some sources that readers use. Some will review your books, some will let you review other people's books, and some are just plain useful for getting the word out.
