This blog tracks my efforts to market my first novel Welcome to Heaven.


It starts at Week 1 just as the final corrections are being made to the PDF manuscript.

Week 2

All final corrections to the book have been completed, this took up a large lump of the week. (Jackie re-read the book and found even more mistakes!) It has all gone back to YPS now so hopefully that's it.
I received the ISBN number for the book from Nielsen. I had to buy the minimum quantity - 10!! That means I have to write another 9 novels to get my money's worth. I don't think I'll live that long so 1'll just have to sell more copies of Welcome to Heaven. Ha! Ha!
I had to write a short bio for the book and a longer one for marketing. It wasn't easy as I found it impossible to be serious, so I eventually kept them light hearted.
I quite liked the idea of embossing the titles on the front cover but costs for short runs were too high.
