So far, my Weekly Somethings have all been about Authors Promoting Authors.
Which is great because this is a wonderful way to update people about what is going on behind the scenes, especially during the summer where the renovation is continuing on at full strength.
The original concept (the Book Features) of Authors Promoting Authors was you send an email with your book info. then it is posted on the blog. Then you take the book info. before you and post it on your blog.
There has been a lot of success with this concept, but it has met with its pitfalls too.
And I still have not made a decision on weather or not to keep the Book Features as they have been or change them.
What do you think? Jump in with the comments here and let me know your thoughts on the old way of the Book Features. Your suggestions and ideas are important as they will help what direction APA takes in the very near future.
Pressure, I believe goes hand in hand with trying to be an author, so I don't have to write on that topic too much, other than to say, I've been feeling it lately, on all levels.
With the slew of new interest and new people who have discovered Authors Promoting Authors, I feel the pressure to make the renovations and have it up and running on an on going basis once more.
Many thanks to all the authors, readers and supporters of Authors Promoting Authors.
APA will continue to grow and flourish even farther, but how we get there depends on what you all want to see.
If you have a suggestion that you do not want made public, feel free to send it on to: apasuggestions@gmail.com
Happy Friday!
Totally off the subject, but does your site provide opportunities to post creative marketing suggestions? I have a few and I'm sure other authors do as well...especially ones that work effectively.

I think the concept of the Book Features is a good one. I say keep it but maybe do some tweaking to it.
ReplyDeleteKaylin- I beleive the Our Guest feature will give authors an opportunity to share marketing suggestions.
ReplyDeleteJessica-Thank-you, I think we are almost there with the tweaking of the Book Features.
The response to this post through email has been overwhelming. I am trying to respond to everyone but please know I have read them all and I am grateful for all the thoughts and shared two cents.
It looks like at this point, the Book Features will be kept. It is an unique concept and has had much success in the past.
