Your book’s birth-process has not ended until it is in the hands of the reader, and one way to get this done is by having positive reviews of your books out there because many readers buy based on the recommendation of others.

GO SOCIAL!
In the 21st century literary scene, every author needs to constantly interact with his audiences to remain relevant. Also, other than what is in a published book, a successful (or one who hopes to be) should have a platform dedicated to creating and distributing his/her thoughts because most of reading audiences have migrated to the internet.

YOU HAVE TO GO SOCIAL
An author must and should be able to interact with such audiences through regular website/blog posts and on popular social media like – Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, to mention but a few. Reaching and exploiting these audiences has a direct effect on the author/book’s acceptance.

Our team of social media experts will
