Writer Meet-up Groups

writers-group1Every book needs an editor. You need a different pair of eyes reading your words. When you are the one writing, you are too involved in the process. You need another person looking at the content with a fresh mind to see if the story runs smoothly. Does it make sense or did you leave out gaps of information that confuses the reader? And, of course, spelling and grammar also need to be reviewed. But how do you do that without an intern – or a big budget? Have no fear! That’s why writer meet-ups were invented! And yes, they really exist.

The more eyes you have looking at your work the better. There are many writer meet-up groups. I’ve seen some in my local area where it’s just for people reviewing other people’s work. Usually, it’s free. Utilize all of your resources!

Make Your Book Launch F U N!

Make your event fun. The boring sit-at-a-table-and-autograph-the-book-people-were-waiting-in-line-to-buy-for-days are over. To get people out to your party, you need to have a fun event. This is especially true if you are a new author. Why should they come and see you?

lou-reed-book-signing-colette-2For the Dating Jungle not only did we have costumes, prizes and drinks, we also had a live jazz music. I decorated my area just like a jungle. Everything from a jungle background and vines hung all over the ceilings and tables, to blow-up monkeys to hang from the vines and palm trees on the walls. I even had a sex foot Jane and Tarzan photo op printed where people could take pictures of themselves.

Think outside of the box. Don’t be another boring book signing event. Do something crazy! The more over the top it is, the more people will have fun and remember it. Maybe bring a magician in to do card tricks or some kind of performer. For a children’s book get a balloon artist. Anything to get people to stay and hang out for a while.

On Thursday, October 20, 2016 from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM.The Richter Publishing 3rd Annual Author Award Ceremony & Book Gala will be hosted at Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant[4110 West Boy Scout Boulevard Tampa, FL 33607]. Bottomless wine and talented authors! Get your ticket today!

Tips for a Successful Book Launch

When you have such a great part, why not let people know about the fun time you had? Here are some tips to show them what they missed out on and what is expected of your next event so they make sure they attend!

Document everything that happens at your party. The more you have recorded, the more you can post online. The record increases your SEO and Google-ability when people post about your party.

It is also a good idea to hire a professional photographer . You undo not want the only photos of you event to be badly-lit selfies. We have had some amazing videos taken at our parties. It’s worth it get them on tape and then edit it into a quick promo for you and yo9ur book/company. If you don’t have a lot extra money you can do it on your smartphone and use a video editing software. However, if you can, hire a professional. Even if you’re on a budget. It’s worth it to get that great video to post on your website, YouTube, Vimeo, etc. to get out into the world.

Writing Tip — Writing Your Own Words

Life is hectic, and sometimes it seems like a better idea to go the ghostwriter route. I do not agree with someone else writing your words for you. Try to avoid this at all costs, but utilize a strong, connected ghostwriter if necessary—because these are you stories. This is your pain or happiness. No one can fully understand what you have gone through in life, so they cannot accurately express it on paper. Only you can.

I had a ghost writer offer to write my first book, “10 Rules to Survive the Dating Jungle.” However, she wanted to make it fiction, and I didn’t want to take it in that direction. The book was a set of rules I made for myself after enduring a divorce, losing my stepson, and enduring an entire lifetime of toxic, unhealthy relationships. She had no idea the pain and agony I went through with a controlling and verbally abusive husband. Only I know what it felt like. So in order to tell my story, to connect and resonate with the reader, my words had to come from me.

You might be afraid to put your story out there, and I do admit it’s a grueling process. There is no short cut to get it done, but I can provide little tricks that will make it easier.
